I’m trying a new French marigold this year. ‘Strawberry Blonde’ adds dusky shades of pink, rose and mauve to the typical marigold palette of gold, yellow and orange.
‘Strawberry Blonde’ grows in a little mound that reaches 8 to 10 inches high.
Marigolds are extremely easy to grow. They will bloom from late spring until a killing frost and they shrug off heat and drought.
I’m excited to see what these plants will look like when they really fill out in a few weeks.
