Mexican Torch Flower
Tithonia rotundifolia
Bright orange daisy-like blooms crown the tall, sturdy stems of this fast-growing annual. While offten compared to sunflowers in stature, they are not related. Plants reach an impressive 5-6 feet in height, making them ideal for the back of borders or as a dramatic garden focal point. Plant several closely together to form a vibrant, informal hedge. When grown in groups, Mexican Torch Flower creates an eye-catching display and is especially beloved by pollinators and hummingbirds, which are drawn to its vivid color and abundant nectar.
