Notes
'Durango Outback Mix' French marigold (Tagetes patula 'Durango Outback Mix') is an annual for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It bears extra-large blooms with outstanding uniformity. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It stays low and clumping, so it fits well at the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Rubenza cosmos, Old Mexico zinnia, and Butterfly sweet pea.
