Tagetes erecta 'Chedi Mix’

Also known as an American Marigold, this mix will give you plenty of large bright orange, golden, and yellow blooms that have an incredibly long vase life. A great natural dye, especially the orange blooms.

Marigolds are great for deterring nematodes and other pests in your veggie gardens. Make sure to deadhead the flowerheads regularly to encourage more blooms. Marigolds are said to be great pest deterrents in your vegetable garden and they are even edible! Add some zest to your meals with bright specks of color!!
