How to Grow and Care for Mexican Sunflower Seeds - Yellow (Tithonia Speciosa Yellow Torch)

Planting:

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed up.
  • Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil, spacing them 12–18 inches apart to allow for healthy growth.
  • If starting indoors, sow seeds 3–4 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant them outdoors when the weather has warmed up.

Growth Conditions:

  • Sunlight: Mexican Sunflowers require full sun to thrive, so plant them in an area that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  • Soil: These sunflowers prefer well-draining, fertile soil. While they are adaptable to various soil types, slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5) is ideal.
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure that the soil is well-drained to avoid waterlogging. While they are drought-tolerant once established, regular watering helps promote healthy growth and strong blooms.

Care:

  • Keep the plants well-watered during their initial growth stages, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks to encourage strong, vibrant blooms throughout the growing season.
  • Stake the plants if they become top-heavy or in windy conditions to prevent them from bending or breaking.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy garden appearance.
