This heat-resistant, drought-tolerant variety produces a bushy hedge that blooms with bright orange flowers by mid-summer. Makes an ideal hedge or border that is excellent for cutting.

SOWING:
Plant the seed outdoors in late spring when the ground has warmed. Plant in rows 24 inches apart, spacing seed 3–6 inches in the row. Cover seeds with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin them to 24 inches apart in rows or beds.

REMARKS:
As the name implies, Mexican Sunflowers require plenty of sunshine. Plants will withstand drought conditions, which may stunt growth. Keep blossoms picked for best results.
