Description
6' tall x 36" wide (cutting propagated). I found this unusually colored Maximilian's Sunflower one autumn afternoon while driving along a back road outside of Santa Fe, NM. With its primrose yellow flowers, it really stood out from all the other golden-flowered Sunflowers. 'Lemon Yellow' thrives in loam and clay and grows easily in hot, full sun locations, preferably against walls or fences where its large size can be appreciated.
