Product Description

300 Mexican Sunflower seeds. 3 grams of seeds. This popular annual is quite tall and quite wide, almost creating a hedge. Flaming orange flowers among the large, velvety leaves attract many butterflies and hummingbirds. It is also super easy to grow, so this plant has it all! Sowing: Direct sow Tithonia rotundifolia Mexican Sunflower seeds in spring, pressing into the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. This plant can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring. Growing: Water Tithonia rotundifolia seedlings occasionally until they become established; since they need good drainage, mature plants grow well in drought and poor soil. Soil that is too rich and moist will have a negative effect. If planted in a windy location, staking or support may be necessary. Deadhead to prolong the blooming season. This plant will self-seed occasionally in good growing conditions. It attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
