Description

The listing, ORANGE TORCH Sunflower (20) has ended.

Torch can be grown as a 4-6 ft heat and drought tolerant screen that does not require staking. The spectacular 3-4 in orange-red flowers are good for cutting and are among the favorite stops of butterflies - particularly the Monarch. Blooms July/August until frost. Easy to grow. Direct sow after last danger of frost or begin indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost. Reseeds.

Questions & Comments

Yes, these are Tithonia Mexican sunflowers. Their variety name is "Torch" (or the color name). They are little round ball of blooms. So pretty. Not like our sunflowers which are tall and gangly. Very pretty and bloom all the time. Really like these.

Hi xiangirl,

Are these also called Mexican sunflower? I was just looking at some yesterday and thought they were pretty. I had gotten cuttings of Tithonia diversifolia -- Bolivian sunflower and as I was researching it, saw the Mexican SF. Sure are pretty. I might like to have some of these too.
