Description
Tagetes patula
These mostly single-petaled blooms are better for pollinators than many of the denser-petaled marigolds!
The Idaho sun has warmed these cheerful companions for many years, adapting them to the hot, dry wonders of the Intermountain West! Marigolds are a wonderful companion plant in a vegetable garden, as their scent deters many predators of garden crops. Plants grow to 18” tall. Marigolds are fantastic dye plants!
Seeds grown by Sonshine Acres in Emmett, Idaho.
200 seeds.
Directions: Direct seed in late spring or start indoors and transplant outside after frost. Plants gently reseed.
