Notes

'ProCut Lemon Lite' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Lemon Lite') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the yellow, gold, and green blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer. Drought tolerance makes it easy to grow.

Pairs well with Candy Stripe cosmos, Polar Bear zinnia, and Red fescue.
