Marigold Tagetes erecta Durango 'Flame'

French Marigold

Durango Marigold Flame showcases small, ruffled flowers, in a deep red, fading to bright orange and finally a deep gold on the tips of its petals for the "flame" effect. Durango Marigolds are petite, ruffled flowers that grow on sturdy stems above deeply divided foliage. They are a fast growing annual that look fabulous surrounding a garden’s edge, window boxes and containers. They are fragrant, have scented foliage, attract bees, are heat and frost tolerant and are very low maintenance.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips French Durango Marigolds require full sun (at least 6 hours each day) and prefer average well drained soil. They only need medium watering, so you should water them a few times a week. Avoid watering late in the day. Remove spent flowers to promote new blooms and prolong blooming.

Interesting Notes Blooms keep coming through summer heat Add with spiked flowers or grasses for exceptional appeal!
