(Tagates spp.) Marigolds are native to Central America. These flowers have long-held spiritual significance in a wide range of traditional cultures. French marigold (Tagetes patula) and African marigold (Tagetes erecta) are annual members of the aster family. This bushy ornamental is commonly found interplanted in the vegetable garden, as it possesses natural fragrance that is believed to deter some garden pests. The marigold also sports edible flowers, making it even more at home in the veggie garden. Marigolds are also amazing planted in beds and borders. They are easy to grow and create a gilded blanket of regal warm colors. Sow indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow after last frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Ideal germination temperature is 70-75 F. Seeds germinate in 7-14 days. Marigolds prefer full sun, but they will tolerate some shade. Well-draining soil is best. Space plants 8-10 inches apart.

We finally have added a unique white marigold; this variety has lovely 2-inch creamy-white blooms that really stand out in a crowd. White marigolds were long in the making; in fact, Burpee Seed Company spent 56 years of searching and breeding before finding success. After years of trying, David Burpee offered $10,000 to the first home gardener who sent in the right seeds to help make a real white variety; thousands of gardeners responded for years. One lady, Alice Vonk of Sully, Iowa, sent seeds for 21 years, and in 1975, Burpee awarded her the coveted prize for her work—after the company had spent more than five decades and $250,000 testing during the contest years. Now there are several white varieties, including this beauty.

Annual. Gorgeous to the point of excess! Double, deep orange-to-russet flowers reach 2.5” in diameter. They have a tidy, geometric look because the petals occur in neat concentric rings. Each petal lays nearly flat, without crowding its neighbors, showing the intricate edging, penciled in pure gold. Foot high plants are great for bedding, edging the border, or in window boxes or pots.
