Flower Mexican Sunflower

A Blazing Beauty for the Back of the Border

The Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia) is a showstopping annual that brings a fiesta of colour to any garden. Its large, vivid orange-red blooms glow like embers against lush green foliage, and they just keep coming all summer long. Tall, bold, and utterly irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Why You'll Love It

• Brilliant orange-red flowers up to 8 cm across — a true garden statement
• Blooms continuously from midsummer right through to frost
• Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds in abundance
• Grows tall (up to 120 cm) — perfect as a dramatic backdrop or privacy screen

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun in well-draining soil after the last frost. Mexican Sunflower thrives in heat and is drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering. Stake taller plants in exposed positions. Excellent as a cut flower.
