African Marigold (Tagetes Erecta Tall Sierra Orange) - This taller variety, known as an African Marigold or Aztec Marigold, looks especially attractive in mass plantings. Sow flower seeds to have these large, showy, never fading orange blooms. They will brighten up any garden or flower bed! The flowers are reliable and popular for children or novice gardeners to grow.
The plants will perform well in poor soil as long as there is good moisture. African Marigold care involves deadheading spent blooms to promote new flowers. They have a very long bloom season from late spring through fall in most regions. They burst with color all season long!
