Notes
'Bambino Marigold' French marigold (Tagetes patula 'Bambino Marigold') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Mealycup sage, Cornflower, and Creeping thyme.
