    Store owner replied: Hello Michael D. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    Germination rate was every bit 100%! They grow tall and the grow fast!! Very sturdy, as we had cows get out and stomp down many, but the stalk was not completely broken so we staked them up and they are doing just fine, so strong!! So tall and so many blooms on one stalk! Will buy these every year

    Sunflower Seeds - Lemon Queen

    Lemon Queen sunflowers are beautiful and carefree, but the best part is watching the goldfinches (and bees) flock to them. I have planted many varieties over the years, but this is my hands down favorite.

    Sunflower Seeds - Lemon Queen

    These sunflowers are quite hardy, the stalks have survived several bad wind storms with alot of rain. They are close to 12ft tall and have multiple heads on them, alot of blooms! The color of these sunflowers is light and refreshing, they are so beautiful they look fake almost. Their is a double row of petals which also adds to the wow factor! Beautiful color, this will be planted in my garden again next season :)
