Tithonia (Mexican sunflower) thrives in full sun 🌞 and grows best in well-drained soil.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 24-36 inches apart to allow room for growth.

4. Watering Requirements:
Water deeply and consistently 💧, especially during dry periods. Tithonias are drought-tolerant once established.

5. Germination Time:
Tithonia seeds germinate in 7-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Once established, these plants need little care. Keep an eye out for pests and remove any dead or yellowing leaves 🌼.
