Description
Mexican sunflowers, Tithonia diversifolia 6 cutting bare root nodes. 🌱 Growing Information • Climate & Zones: • Best in USDA Zones 9–11 as a perennial. • Grown as an annual in cooler zones. • Tolerates heat, poor soil, and drought once established. • Growth Habit: • Can reach 4–6 ft tall (T. rotundifolia) or 10–15 ft tall (T. diversifolia, the giant perennial type). • Bright orange daisy-like flowers attract butterflies, bees, and pollinators. • Soil: Thrives in poor, sandy, or depleted soils — often used as a green manure/compost crop because it accumulates nutrients (especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). • Sunlight: Full sun. • Watering: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established. 🌼 How to Use • Garden/Permaculture: • Grow as a pollinator plant, hedge, or living fence. • Cut-and-drop mulch or compost activator (high in nutrients). • Traditional medicine: • Leaves made into teas or poultices in folk medicine (should be used cautiously and under guidance, as safety data is limited). • Livestock: • Small amounts of dried or fresh leaves fed to goats, rabbits, and cattle as supplemental fodder. • Ornamental: • Bright yellow/orange flowers for cut arrangements. • Great for attracting monarch butterflies and pollinators.
