The Orange Marigold is a classic annual flower known for its vivid orange blooms and versatility in gardens and containers. This marigold’s bright orange, ruffled flowers make it a beautiful accent in flower beds, borders, and mixed containers, and its scent can help repel pests, making it a great companion plant for vegetable gardens. Its blooms are long-lasting, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies throughout the growing season.

Orange marigolds thrive in full sun and are very heat-tolerant, requiring minimal maintenance once established. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooms, and they perform best in well-drained soil.
