Description
The African Marigold (Tagetes
erecta) is an annual flower that
ranges across the southern parts of North America, and
into South America as well. It most commonly grows in
pine or oak forests, or in areas where these trees are
common. It is actually a cultivar of the Mexican Marigold.
The African Marigold plant grows 40 cm high, and each
plant spreads out my 1 meter. It is a frost
tender plant and is quite hardy in zone 9. The African
Marigold likes its soil to be inbetween dry
and moist, and it needs to be well-drained. They also
need good sunlight to grow properly.
Other common names for the African Marigold are Aztec
Marigold, Chambergo and Fleurs Souci.
