{"title":"Tithonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative to Central and South America, the genus Tithonia is comprised of bushy plants with bright flowers that are related to, and reminiscent of, daisies. Perhaps the most distinguished Tithonia variety is Mexican sunflower (not to be confused with sunflowers in the Helianthus genus). The striking vermilion color of its flowers is hard to find anywhere else, so luckily it's easy to grow and thrives in hot, dry conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mexican-sunflower-2","title":"Torch Tithonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eA native of Mexico, Torch Tithonia grows at a slow burn until midsummer heat triggers an explosion of blooms that blaze into fall.

In height and structure, you will see why it is commonly called \"sunflower\" but once it blooms, you will see the close relation to zinnias.

Seedlings are slower to start than zinnias or sunflowers, so have a bit of patience if you have not planted them before. They take off quickly once they get going! Mexican Sunflower prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but tolerates partial shade.

This variety is truly striking: strongly branched, it sends up fluted stems that hold aloft velvety, golden-orange flowers, each about three inches across. The effect is a magnificent beacon of summer sunshine that keeps blooming continuously from mid-summer right until the first frost. Its easy-to-care-for nature and towering height (reaching five to six feet) make it an eye-catching backdrop or hedge in any garden design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is the ultimate delight for pollinators, drawing in butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds all season long.

Once the magnificent blooms fade, the cones remain, ripening into seeds that attract birds late in the season, ensuring your patch provides food and beauty until winter arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hudson Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"100 Seeds \/ Organic","offer_id":46228911718558,"sku":"gp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":5.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 Seeds \/ Organic","offer_id":46228911751326,"sku":"hp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"900 Seeds \/ Organic","offer_id":46228911784094,"sku":"fp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2700 Seeds \/ Organic","offer_id":46719909363870,"sku":"xp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":16.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 pound \/ Organic","offer_id":46719909396638,"sku":"yp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":49.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\/4 pounds \/ Organic","offer_id":46719909429406,"sku":"zp_yellow_torch_tithonia","price":147.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/files\/yellowtithonia.png?v=1764172762"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/collections\/Nasturtium.png?v=1736265955","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/collections\/tithonia.oembed","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
