Notes
'Garuda Deep Gold F1' marigold (Tagetes erecta 'Garuda Deep Gold F1') is an annual for borders, containers, and annual beds. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The fragrant flowers open in yellow, orange, and whitish shades from early to late summer, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. This plant also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Mealycup sage, Purple top, and Cosmos.
