Red Torch Tithonia (also known as Mexican sunflower) is a drought-tolerant and heat-loving annual plant native to Mexico and Central America. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love the bright blooms. Tall branching plants bloom for several months (right up until frost), and make an excellent cut flower.

Sowing & Growing
Sow seeds under glass March to April, surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost and just cover with soil. Ideal temp. 13-18°C. Do not exclude light. Germination takes 7-21 days. Acclimatise and plant outside once danger of frost has passed with 50cm spacing. It’s rather easy to grow and is a cut and come again variety, which may require staking and protecting from slugs and snails.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
