Notes

'ProCut Lemon' sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'ProCut Lemon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Lemon yellow petals surround a dark disk. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

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