African Sunflower

The African Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia), also known as Mexican Sunflower, is a vigorous flowering plant known for its bright orange to red-orange blooms and lush green foliage. It is popular in gardens and landscaped areas because of its bold colour, fast growth, and ability to attract pollinators.

• Appearance: Produces large daisy-like flowers in vivid orange or reddish-orange shades, supported by tall branching stems and broad green leaves.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: Best suited as an outdoor flowering and landscape plant. It works well in garden beds, borders, along fences, and in large open planting areas.
• Care: Prefers full sun, well-draining soil, and moderate watering. It grows quickly in warm conditions and benefits from occasional pruning or removal of spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
• Benefits: Highly decorative, fast-growing, easy to maintain, and excellent for attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators to the garden.
