Tithonia rotundifolia

It occurs in Florida, Louisiana, Mexico, Central America and the West Indies. Een plant, die menig hart verovert! Open bloem met lintbloemen en stuifmeelrijke hartbloemen, veel insectenbezoek: bijen, vlinders etc. Its leaves are somewhat attractive, being dark green and lobed.


Noteworthy Characteristics: Bright flowers, sturdy plants, vigorous growth.

This remains one of my favourite summer and autumn flowers. Warm weather annual that is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Avoid rich soils which tend to produce weak-stemmed plants with excess foliage. Plants thrive in summer heat. Purchase new plants in six packs in spring.
