Tithonia Sunshine Bouquet
My Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) had grown tall and leggy in the shade of the trees in the upper yard over the past few months. It was basically like looking at a forest of sticks with flowers 15 feet in the air, so I whacked the plants down to a couple feet tall. Now it’s like looking at a hedge row of sticks, but it’ll be green and leafy again by spring. In the meantime, my wife has some nice bouquets of bright yellow flowers around the house.
