MARIGOLD, Cempoalxóchitl

Tagates erecta (90-100 days) 

This came to us with an Aztec name that is similar to the word for marigold, “cempasúchil”, and marigolds are also called the flor de muertos ("flower of the dead").  Grows to 4-5 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide producing a great many SINGLE and few double petaled orange flowers that are all abuzz with pollinators of all sorts later in the season. Makes a great dye plant.

Note: If you are looking for a many double petaled variety check out our African Giant and Peche's Gold varieties.
