Gold Mint Marigolds
(Tagetes erecta) &
 Marigold Medley
(Tagetes patula)
A giant of a marigold, this flower dominates any garden setting. It grows 2-3 feet tall
with bright golden-orange poms for blossoms, each 2-3 inches in diameter. Foliage is perky
forest green, with clusters of small serrated leaves rounding out the plant, almost
creating a small bush. Makes a good plant for ringing the veggie garden; the old timers
say marigolds ward off pests. Blooms mid-summer till the first hard frost. Then it becomes
a tasty snack for white tail deer if your garden's in the country!
Actually, the smell confuses the wildlife and could be the reason for the
flower's repellent characteristic. $1.00/pack of 100+ seeds.
