Product description

Sunflower ‘Saluna Lemon’ is an elegant variety that brings soft lemon-yellow blooms to borders, beds, and containers. With a neat, bushy habit and pale petals surrounding a dark centre, this eye-catching Sunflower reaches up to 1.2 meters tall, making it ideal for back-of-border planting. Its gentle colouring adds a calming touch to summer displays and is loved by pollinators.

Sow seeds indoors from March to April or directly outdoors from April to May once the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny, open spot with well-drained soil and plant the seeds 2cm deep. If starting indoors, sow into pots or trays, cover lightly with compost, and keep at around 20°C. Harden off seedlings before planting out from May to June, spacing them 30cm apart to give each plant room to shine. Flowers come into bloom July to September.

Water regularly during dry spells, especially while the plants are young. Once established, they’re fairly drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture will help produce fuller plants and longer-lasting blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more, and enjoy a summer-long display of soft, sunny colour with minimal fuss.
