Tithonia - Mexican Sunflower seeds

[Anonymous]

My tithonia still hasn’t emerged. Seeded it months ago. The ground seems warm enough for something to have happened by now. Is it too late to start now? I tend to direct seed. Would need to order, but ok with that. They are my favorite flowers and have attracted more butterflies and hummingbirds than anything else in the past.

I mean full disclosure I’m going to plant more anyway, looking for the experience of others here with this plant.

Tithonia are like zinnias, not fussy. I would seed again.

I don’t think you’ll get any flowers, but they’re such a great monarch stopover plant that it’s worth a try. Even easy plants sometimes have a bad batch of seed.
