Mexican Sunflower Tithonia Seeds

Tangerine orange blooms with golden undertones held on tall, branching stems.

Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia) is a tall annual that blooms from midsummer until frost, offering height, bold color, and pollinator activity for beds, borders, and garden edges.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when you need height and color that doesn't fade in the heat.

• Adding bold, high-impact color to the back of garden beds
• Creating a seasonal screen or soft garden border
• Filling sunny spaces with tall, fast-growing plants
• Attracting bees and butterflies throughout the season
• Cutting bright stems for late-summer arrangements

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This is a heat plant through and through. It handles hot, dry conditions without slowing down and keeps blooming when other plants start to fade.

It's fast-growing, fills space quickly, and doesn't need much attention once established. If you've got a sunny spot that needs height, this one takes care of it.
