Mexican Sunflowers (Tithonia rotundifolia) are vibrant, fast-growing annuals that thrive in full sun, boasting large, daisy-like flowers with fiery orange petals and prominent yellow centers. These sunflowers are renowned for their ability to add a splash of color to gardens from summer through fall, offering a tropical flair with their bold blooms and lush, green foliage.


As cut flowers, Mexican Sunflowers are prized for their long vase life and striking appearance, bringing warmth and a sunny disposition to any bouquet. Additionally, these sunflowers are excellent for attracting beneficial pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them a fantastic choice for eco-conscious gardeners looking to support local wildlife and enhance garden biodiversity.
