Family
Asteraceae
Garden(s):
It has been our experience that Tithonia rotundifolia 'Fiesta del Sol' is not a strong performer in our area in a warm season planting. It was observed to have fungal issues and to have a limited period of time where it was attractive and flowering. This cultivar is more compact than the straight species. It is about two and a half feet tall and about one and a half to two feet wide.
