Tithonia Mexican Sunflower Mix Seeds

Tithonia Mexican Sunflower Mix Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

Tithonia Mexican Sunflower Mix brings a vibrant blend of fiery colours to the summer garden, combining rich shades of orange, gold, and warm red.

 

Known botanically as Tithonia rotundifolia, this striking mix produces bold, daisy like blooms that stand proudly above lush green foliage and create a glowing, sunlit display.

 

This mix offers a dynamic combination of heights and tones, giving borders and wildlife gardens a lively, naturalistic feel.

 

Each flower is rich in nectar and highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who want to support biodiversity while enjoying a long season of colour.

 

The plants thrive in sunny, open positions where they grow quickly and perform reliably even during warm, dry spells. Their tall, branching habit makes them ideal for the back of borders, mixed plantings, and cut flower arrangements.

 

When planted in groups, the blend of colours creates a radiant, uplifting effect that enhances any summer display.

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, upright growth.

 

Tithonia Mexican Sunflower Mix is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking tall, heat tolerant plants that deliver bold colour, abundant blooms, and outstanding pollinator appeal throughout the summer months.
