Mexican Torch seeds produce exceedingly bright orange flowers atop massive plants that grow to 1.8m (6') in just a few months. Tithonia does not produce edible flowers, and is not a true sunflower. Grown in large containers (3-5 gallons minimum), plants will stay more compact, growing only to 60cm (24\") tall. Tithonia is highly attractive to pollinators, including hummingbirds, and looks great when planted in big clumps or rows. The seeds are easy to collect and dry for future planting, and the massive stalks from the plants can be used for trellising peas or pole beans the following year. Mexican Torch won an AAS Award in 1951.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 117.571px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTithonia rotundifolia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEasy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFull sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to sprout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5-14 Days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.0486%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStarting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.5997%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSow seeds on the surface of the soil under bright lights, and maintain a soil temperature of 21°C (70°F).
