Marigolds
Marigolds deserve the medal for being the flowers with the lowest maintenance required. In fact, some experts claim that marigolds are nearly care-free. That's not quite true but if your garden color scheme runs to yellows and oranges, you can't go wrong with the trusty marigold.
Marigolds will thrive in the sun in moist, well-drained soil. Like many plants, they will appreciate being watered directly in the soil (rather than having the water rain down on them). Marigolds may appreciate some feeding during the season, but they really don't require it.
One word of warning: marigolds have a distinctive scent. Some people love it, others don't. Before you invest in marigolds for your garden, make sure you stick your nose right in the plants and take a good whiff.
African Marigold Crackerjack Mix
T.erecta

Brilliant 5cm (2”) wide flowers in gold to mahogany atop 30-38cm (12-15”) plants. Grow in full sun and deadhead regularly to enjoy flowers from May to heavy frost. Very easy to grow!
French Marigold Sparky Mix
Half-Hardy Annual (HHA)

French Vanilla Marigold
Half-Hardy Annual (HHA)
Soft blooms are like rich vanilla ice cream but have the same familiar marigold scent. Beautiful large, fully rounded flowers heads are excellent for cutting. Plant height 50cm (20").
Signet Marigold Golden Gem
T. signata
Annual (A)
An intense citrus aroma fills the air when you brush by them along a path or in hanging baskets. Small single blooms make airy mounds above lacy foliage. Use blossoms in salads, desserts and fancy drinks. By far the best-tasting marigold. Gold Gem is slow to bloom so start early. Bright lemon-yellow blooms flower until heavy frost. Plant height 40cm (15").
