Kees' Orange Marigold

Tagetes erecta. These vigorous and tall marigolds feature large, deeply orange flowers with highly ruffled petals. Kees' Orange marigold grows to 60-70cm (24-28") , and works well in containers or in the vegetable garden where it makes a generalist companion plant for pretty much all crops. It attracts beneficial insects and repels pests. It is great as a long-lasting cut flower, and looks amazing planted in large groups. Space them, 30cm (1 foot) to 45cm apart, to allow for good air circulation. Thrives in full sun and deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms. 

Annual.
