Tagates patula

Deep red petals with yellow centers, this beautiful, low growing marigold deters pests while adding beauty to your garden. Grows only to 12"-16" tall. I like to plant these at the ends of the vegetable beds to bring color and distract pests. They bloom from July to first frost. Can be harvested for bouquets or the dye pot. Originally from Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Direct sow or transplant after last frost. Lightly cover seed-don’t plant too deep. 60 days to maturity.

Packet contains ~50 seeds
