I am forever banning you from growing those horrid, super-dwarf, grocery store African Marigolds and here you can see why! These are the real “African Marigolds” – to a fabulous 3’ tall and a bushy 3’ across. You get big, fantastic, super-doubly, sweetly scented blooms to 4-5” across for several months. Long-stemmed, they’re superb cut flowers and perfect for your Day of the Dead celebrations. Combined here with Convolvulus ‘Blue Ensign’. Rich soil is best.
