Cheerful annual covered with orange-yellow flowers July through October. This is the preferred marigold for companion planting. Root secretions kill harmful nematodes and the plant is said to repel pests such as whitefly while attracting beneficial hoverflies. Easy to grow from seed. We like to plant them throughout the veggie garden and in the greenhouse for pest control.
