Orange Torch Tithonia, also called Mexican Sunflower, is a stunning plant from Central America that grows really tall. It produces loads of beautiful flowers in a vibrant red-orange color. The flowers are about 3 to 4 inches wide and cover the plant's velvety stems, which have many branches. Tithonia blooms all summer long even in extreme heat. Plants can reach a height of 8 feet, making them stand out in your garden. They attract tons of butterflies because they like their wide and flat flowers. Hummingbirds are also attracted to their bright orange colored flowers. These flowers are perfect if you want to add a burst of color to your garden effortlessly, as they require minimal care and are very low-maintenance.
PLANTING
Germination: 7-14
Seed Sowing Depth: ***Needs light to germinate*** Simply press the seeds down on the top of the soil and water in. Do not cover with soil, or just barely cover with some soil.
Sowing: Can direct sow after the last frost, or start in pots 4-6 weeks before the last frost. In warmer climates can also direct sow at end of summer for fall flowers.
Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
