Are you growing tithonia in Texas, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?
Getting your Tithonia to bloom is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Tithonia have a small window when they bloom and still look great.
So if they bloom too early they may die or not last as long. And if they bloom too late they may have small blooms that don’t last long.

When Do Tithonia Bloom in Texas?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when Tithonia will bloom: where your Tithonia are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Tithonia Are Planted!!!
When your Tithonia will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a tithonia is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a tithonia is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a tithonia is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
