genuine heat lover the Mexican Sunflower sets the dog days of summer
ablaze with her sizzling orange daisies. Tolerates infertile soil,
drought, and neglect. Very easy for new gardeners and children. This
plant is attractive to bees, butterflies (especially the elegant
swallowtails) and/or birds.

bouquets and have numerous flowers remaining on the plant for the
wildlife.
