Mexican Marigold 'Giant Orange'

Mexican Marigolds, often known as African Marigolds, are grand and statuesque annuals that bring a bold splash of colour and texture to UK gardens. These half-hardy plants produce large, often globe-shaped, ruffled flowers in glorious shades of yellow, orange, and cream, flowering profusely from summer until the first frosts. They are typically sown indoors in early spring and planted out after the risk of frost has passed. Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, they make excellent back-of-border plants or focal points in large containers. Their impressive size and vibrant blooms ensure a strong visual impact.
