Bringing vibrant energy and color to the late summer yard, Mexican sunflowers (Tithonia rotundifolia) offer long lasting impact for very little effort or gardening know-how. Besides their rich orange blooms that last well into fall, these plants are simply irresistible to bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, introducing a fascinating extra dimension to your garden
Undemanding when it comes to growing conditions, these plants are plentiful across USDA Hardiness zones from 2a to 11b. Smothered with open, daisy-like flowers that have a rich concentration of nectar, tithonia blooms are particularly attractive to migratory butterflies and an important aid to the monarch butterfly migration.
