Tagetes ‘Cinnabar’ seed

An erect annual African Marigold with single flowers. The petals are red with a thin yellow margin. Quick, easy and good for sowing where they are to grow. Lightly cover seeds in spring once frosts are past. Drought hardy, sun hardy and bug hardy. Supposedly good for repelling aphids. Makes an attractive border for the veggie garden. Seeds germinate in 1-2 weeks and spring-sown plants should flower in 8 weeks after germination, continuing through autumn.
