Yellow Sierra Marigold Seeds (Tagetes erecta tall sierra yellow)
Annual, Open pollinated

20 seeds per package

This tall variety features huge blooms that will brighten up your entire flower garden from late spring through summer and right up until frost season. Grown from Marigold seeds, these annuals are tireless bloomers with giant blooms that are a flat pom-pom shape. The flowers have masses of tiny petals that are curled and frilly making a highly textured bloom. The color and texture makes a dazzling display in the garden, border, or in a container. These big yellow Marigolds are even good for cutting and look pretty in bouquets as well! These tall African Marigolds will set new buds almost as quickly as you can cut or deadhead the spent blooms.

Great plant for companion planting, aides in keeping away some of the bad insects. Marigold companion planting enhances the growth of basil, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, gourds, kale, potatoes, squash and tomatoes. Marigold also makes a good companion plant to melons because it deters beetles. Beans and cabbage are listed as bad companion plants for marigolds.
