I love the bright orange of these flowers, and so do the butterflies!
The brightness of this red cannot be described! It is like a fluorescent one.

My tithonias have been loaded with butterflies all summer.
Yvana gave me this plant. Her aunt sent her some seeds from Paris.

Seed heads were dried on the plant. Front two still have the seed inside. Seed heads are stiff and will hurt your fingers. Seed shown is from 2 seed heads and has been separated from chaff.

Fast grower and as Anita said, good for the back of the border. It passed 6' here.
Very attractive to bees.

I bought a packet of seeds wanting to grow bright red flowers I had grown earlier, but this turned out yellow!!
Showing the difference of the leaves on an older Tithonia rotundifolia opposed to the large crinkly leaves when young.
Amazing color, excellent 4 - 6' backdrop for veggie garden beneficial insects
