Flower, Harvey’s Honor Marigold Organic Seeds

This gorgeous marigold flower bears prolific, velvety, scarlet-red blossoms with bright-yellow margins that bees and other pollinators absolutely adore. (Note: Blossoms vary in color, with some much more yellow than red.) Bushy plants can grow up to a remarkable 3' tall, but most lodge close to the ground. Like other marigolds, this flower works well in companion plantings and enhances the growth of crops like cucumbers, eggplant, kale, squash, and tomatoes. Seed Savers Exchange received this heirloom flower in 2011 from Robert Juhre of Washington; it has been grown in his family for at least three generations.  Annual.
