I agree with this video. MexicanSunflower is beautiful. :3
Will they look bad if you overwater them? I cant figure out why mine look like they are not doing so well? They are around other plants that we water every few days and they are wilted. Are they getting too much water maybe?
hi mex!!
This isn't a "how to" video. You showed me a globe. :
What a lame video. Didn't talk at all about how to grow them. Showed us a f*cking globe and yapped about a bunch of non-related BS. As with every video this Twinkie dumpster has – worthless.
I think the Tirhoni (Mexican Sunflower is beautiful.
Mexico is located in North America.
What a worthless video.
In zone Eigth -ten, bloom from year to year….how? From self-seeding? This was not clear
Sorry for some of these rude people below.
Best nectar flower for Butterflies, Orange flower
Nice information, https://youtu.be/j71hYYGbo2g
I had no idea that these flowers don't need a lot of water. 🤔💐💧
I have 3 that have grown about 12 feet so far
I'm in zone 6 but summer has been hot and dry. If I dont water them.every other day, the leaves get yellow and wilted. Mine are about 3 ft tall and no blooms. What did I do wrong?
I grew them this last summer and watered them twice a day and they grew to 6 feet.
Junk
Love them, you and your video. Thanks… short and sweet …to the point
It grew last year in my backyard and we took it out since I didn't know what it was. Yet it grew again this year. It attracted 3 hummingbirds that now live in our garden. It currently has bugs but I don't want to spray anything on her since I am afraid to hurt the hummingbirds. Also, I wish to know how to prune it since It doesn't look very attractive to me. I do love the flowers, but not the general look of the plant.
