Notes
'Bonanza Harmony' French marigold (Tagetes patula 'Bonanza Harmony') is an annual for borders, containers, and accents. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It stays compact, with double crested red and orange flowers on clumping plants. The blooms attract butterflies, and the plant is fragrant and drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Apricotta cosmos, Red fescue, and Snowflake moss phlox.
