Dwarf Orange Marigold

I started with six 1" Dwarf Orange Marigold starters from Fred Meyer Garden Center.  I planted them all around the garden in terra cotta pots and cedar boxes.  Dwarf Orange Marigolds produce large, crested double flowers with a deep orange hue. Perfect for gardens or containers.  While marigolds are a natural pesticide for vegetable gardens, they do attract slugs in wet weather.

Growing Tips: Dwarf Orange Marigolds prefer full sun.  Plant 4" apart, grows 10 - 12" tall.  Remove dead flower blooms to encourage new growth throughout the summer.
