Tithonia Goldfinger is a compact and brilliantly coloured annual that brings a warm, golden glow to any summer garden.

 

Known botanically as Tithonia rotundifolia, this vibrant variety produces rich orange gold blooms that stand out beautifully against deep green foliage.

 

This variety is admired for its tidy, bushy habit which makes it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, and mixed borders.

 

The flowers are packed with nectar and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, creating a lively and wildlife friendly display throughout the season.

 

This lovley annual thrives in sunny, open positions where it grows quickly and flowers generously. Its long flowering period ensures a continuous show from midsummer until the first frosts, offering reliable colour even during warm, dry spells.

 

The blooms are excellent for cutting and add a cheerful brightness to indoor arrangements.

Sowing Instructions

Indoors:

Sow from March to April in small pots or trays filled with moist seed compost. Cover lightly with a fine layer of compost and maintain a temperature of 18–21°C. Keep the compost evenly moist until seedlings appear. Transplant into individual pots once large enough to handle and harden off before planting outdoors after the final frost.

 

Outdoors:

Direct sow from late April to May in a sunny, sheltered position. Prepare the soil well, sow thinly, and cover lightly. Water gently and thin seedlings to allow strong, compact growth.

 

Tithonia Goldfinger is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a compact, heat tolerant annual that delivers bold colour, abundant blooms, and outstanding pollinator appeal.
