Tithonia rotundifolia
‘The Torch’

Here’s the plant that made me love the color orange! Its common name is “Mexican Sunflower” & it produces a very bushy, 4’ tall by 3’ wide multi-branched plant with tons & tons of 4” wide intensely rich orange flowers that butterflies & bees swoon for. Wonderfully velvety soft stems & leaves. Tolerates heat like a champ.
