Sowing Tips

Sow seeds directly in garden beds or large pots with well-draining soil. Press seeds lightly into the surface and cover with a thin layer of soil. Water gently and place in full sun. Tithonia is drought tolerant once established — avoid overwatering. Pinch growing tips early to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
