Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' - 2026

Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is a hardy perennial valued for its soft yellow daisy-like flowers with golden centres that bloom from late summer into autumn, creating a long-lasting and cheerful display. The tall, upright stems rise above clumps of lush green foliage, adding height, structure, and late-season colour to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, enhancing both ornamental and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Deadheading spent flowers encourages prolonged flowering, while cutting back in spring maintains healthy and vigorous growth. Hardy and resilient, this cultivar delivers reliable late-summer to autumn colour and pairs well with grasses or other tall perennials.
