Description

African Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is a bold, sun-loving annual known for its large, pom-pom-like blooms in vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and gold. With its upright habit and sturdy stems, this marigold can grow up to 3 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for garden borders, flower beds, and cut flower arrangements. Its lush green foliage and striking blooms bring instant cheer and structure to outdoor spaces.

Highly resilient and easy to grow, African Marigolds thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They are heat- and drought-tolerant once established and naturally repel garden pests like aphids and nematodes, making them excellent companion plants in vegetable gardens. These prolific bloomers provide continuous color from summer through fall with minimal care, making them a favorite for both seasoned gardeners and beginners looking to brighten up their landscapes.
