Grow Lemon Queen Sunflowers in a sunny location in somewhat fertile well-drained soil. Keep soil weed free and moderately moist while plants are young. Once established, Sunflower plants are somewhat drought and heat tolerant. They will flower mid-summer through fall.

Space the Sunflower seeds 6 inches apart, cover the seed 1 - 1/2 inch deep, and thin the Sunflower seedlings to 12 - 18 inches apart. Fertilizer should coincide with plants needs. If needed apply fertilizer at a rate of 2 - 2 1/2 lbs of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet as a side dressing before the plants reach 12 inches in height.
