Mexican Tithonia – Organic
4.19$
Tithonia's vibrant orange flowers attract many butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. Like most Asteraceae, Tithonia is a very easy to grow plant which offers very long flowering throughout the summer. The plant thrives in poor, light and dry soil. Thanks to their very good vase hold, the flowers are popular in floral arrangements.
This plant native to Mexico and Central America loves sun and heat and is not frost-resistant. It tolerates poor, dry soils without problem and requires good drainage. In soils that are too rich, tithonia produces weak stems that need staking and too much foliage. Pruning spent flowers prolongs the flowering period.
Number of days for harvest: 85 to 90
