Tithonia - Goldfinger｜ Other Products

Brilliant, blazing, and built for heat, Tithonia rotundifolia 'Goldfinger' is a dwarf Mexican Sunflower with all the fiery presence of the full-sized species in a thoughtfully compact package. Velvety, deep-orange daisies with golden eyes blaze atop sturdy stems all summer long, glowing against rough, slightly fuzzy foliage that simply soaks up the sunshine. Where its taller cousins can sprawl to 6 feet or more, 'Goldfinger' stays a tidy 3 to 4 feet — perfect for borders, containers, and gardens where space is at a premium.
An easy-to-grow annual that thrives in full sun with very little fuss, 'Goldfinger' loves heat, tolerates drought, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds in droves. Bees adore the rich nectar, monarchs especially seek it out, and the long, sturdy stems make it a fantastic addition to cutting gardens. Plant after frost has passed, water in well to establish, then let nature take over.
Pair it with deep purples, electric blues, or hot pinks for a thrilling color clash, or set it against soft silvers and creamy whites for tropical drama. However you use it, 'Goldfinger' is pure summer sunshine in plant form.
Where the classic 'Torch' Mexican Sunflower can hit 6 feet and often needs staking to keep from flopping, 'Goldfinger' holds itself proudly upright at just 3 to 4 feet on noticeably sturdier stems — no staking required. Its blooms also lean a touch more golden than Torch's true red-orange, hence the cultivar name. That smaller, well-mannered habit makes it perfect for borders, containers, and gardens where space is at a premium.
