Seeds germinate in 7-14 days at warm temperatures. Thin seedlings to give each plant room; pinch young tips to encourage bushy, multi-stemmed growth. Provide full sun and stake tall plants in windy spots. Flowering begins about 70-90 days from sowing and continues for months. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow Tithonia seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from spring through the onset of the monsoon (roughly February to July) when temperatures are warm.

Use a deep, wide pot and stake the plant if you grow it on a balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51051482415350,"sku":"SED-FLW-TITHONIA-001","price":74.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-tithonia-torch-red-flower-seeds-16969124118668.jpg?v=1782713735","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/tithonia-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
