Tithonia rotundifolia

Annual

Full Sun

Blooms July to Frost

Tithonia, also known as Mexican Sunflower, is very attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects like the minute pirate bug. The large 4”-5” blooms are borne on a stately plant with velvety leaves. Loves hot dry sites, but tolerates a range of soils as long as there is good drainage. Plants can make a quick growing summer hedge, and the flowers are good for cutting. Deadhead to increase flower production.
