Torch Tithonia
Tithonia rotundifolia
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
Effusive and crowd-pleasing red-orange blooms
A native of Mexico, Torch Tithonia grows at a slow burn until midsummer heat triggers an explosion of blooms that blaze into fall. The vibrant red-orange flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. A relative of zinnias and sunflowers, this striking plant resembles both. At heights of up to 6 feet, you will understand why it is commonly called "Mexican Sunflower," but once it blooms, you will see the close relation to zinnias.
Grow this tall, showy annual in back of borders or in a mass planting for the most fiery effect.
