Lemon Queen Sunflower Planting Instructions:
| 1. When to Plant: Wait until the soil is nice and warm! Direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. |
| 2. Preparation: Choose a sunny spot. Since these are multi-branching, they need a little more "elbow room" than single-stalk varieties. |
| 3. Sowing: Plant seeds 1 inch deep. Firm the soil over them to protect them from birds. |
| 4. Care: Water regularly while the plants are young. Once they start branching out, they are quite hardy. No staking is usually required. |
| 5. Pests and Diseases: Generally easy-going. Harvest the heads for seeds or leave them on the stalks for a winter feast for the birds. |
| GARDENING ESSENTIALS: Draw heavy swarms of honeybees and beautiful butterflies straight to your backyard plots! Supercharge your fruit sets and map out your ecosystem using our Companion Planting Guide. |

Thank you for all that you do
I love your seeds! I've bought package bundles twice, and the germination rate is pretty much 100%. I had a very successful year last year, and getting my son involved was an awesome experience on its own. Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you all the success and happiness in the world! :)
