Sunflower, Torch Mexican

(Tithonia rotundifolia) (aka Mexican Sunflower) Fiery orange 2-3″ flowers attract lots of butterflies all summer long until frost. A favorite because of its extended bloom period. Nice for fresh arrangements. Branching plants grow 4-6′ tall. Annual, 60 days.

Instructions – Sow seeds outdoors after last frost. Sunflowers prefer full sun to light shade and well-drained rich soil. Provide support for tall plants.
