Tithonia rotundifolia is a perennial sunflower, usually grown as an annual.
Adaptable to most well-draining garden soils in a sunny position. Thrives in hot, sunny climates and does best if it is allowed to dry out between deep waterings. It is also heat and drought-tolerant.
The Mexican sunflower is a plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the warmer and moister parts of North America and Mexico.
It is best to plant seeds in spring, after the danger of frosts has passed. Sow the seeds 1-2mm deep, and keep the growing mix warm and moist. Avoid burying the seeds too deeply or waterlogging the mix.
- Best sown in trays or containers just below the surface and cover lightly.
- If sowing in trays and transplant when large enough to handle.
- If mass planting as a meadow scatter seeds and rake over.
Tropical: Winter
Temperate: Spring to summer
Cold: Late spring to mid-summer.
Germination: 7-21 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
