These actually are not sunflowers, but a different genus altogether: Tithonia. From the seed supplier: The genus name "Tithonia" comes Greek mythology and refers to Tithonius, the beloved of Aurora, the goddess of the dawn. This popular annual is quite tall and quite wide, almost creating a hedge. Flaming orange flowers among the large, velvety leaves attract many butterflies and hummingbirds. It is also super easy to grow, so this plant has it all!
As the name suggests, this bright orange sunflower originally comes from Mexico. Gardeners appreciate this plant for its ability to attract flocks of butterflies.
Grows about 5’ tall with 3” blooms maturing in 85-90 days. Just $5.00 for 40 seeds
