Description
Mexican Sunflowers are not a true sunflower but instead a relative of sunflowers and zinnias. The tall 40-60" zinnia like flowers will attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Plant them in a sunny spot in the meadow or back border of your garden and they will bloom that season. Try dead-heading spent blooms to encourage a longer bloom time. If done correctly, Mexican Sunflowers can bloom from June to frost. A lovely addition to any meadow or garden.
