There are about 10 species of tall annual plants of the Asteraceae family found in Mexico and Central America. The ornamental Tithonia is one of them, the Mexican sunflower ( T. rotundifolia Blake). This wild species grows to a height of over 2m, but the cultivated species, Torch, has an upright stem and grows to a height of about 1m. It has broad ovate leaves, blooms early, and in summer, it branches roughly and produces solitary scarlet-orange sunflower-like flowers at the ends of the branches.
