Fluted stems hold the golden-orange velvety petals of this unusual Tithonia aloft. Strongly branched and full of blooms all summer, Mexican sunflower is attractive as a hedge, at the back of the border, and cut as a bouquet flower. Deer resistant and sure to attract pollinators, this easy-to-care-for flower attracts birds late in the season for the many seeds that ripen within the cone centers.
