Marigold, African Giant

Tagates erecta (70-90 days)  

Large 3 to 4 foot tall plants produce prodigious quantities of big, 3” blooms that can really fill out summer bouquets.  Comes in array of orange and yellow, mostly double petaled, with an occasional white one.  A colorful living hedge!  String up the flower heads and dry them for amazing homegrown leis and ceremonial offerings like the cempoalxóchitl or Cempasúchil of Dia de los Muertos.   Makes a good natural dye.
