Lemon Éclair Sunflower seeds
Lemon Éclair sunflower is a hybrid variety with dainty yellow petals and a dark brown, chocolatey center. We grew these for the first time this season and loved them. Some blooms had a subtle maroon ring around the center, and some had a prominent dark maroon ring. These were beautiful, similar to the Strawberry Lemonade Sunflowers, but the centers were much darker. This variety is early to mature and great for cut flower arrangements. If planted close together, each stem will bear one large blossom. Spaced further apart, each plant will produce side stems bearing multiple blooms.
