Marigold 'Strawberry Blonde'
Pre-order for local pick-up available as early as April 15.
This variety packs the punch of a traditional French marigold, but also adds aesthetic interest in ways that other marigolds don’t.
The bicolor flowers change colors as temperatures shift! Witness the change as seasons progress. They also have a much sweeter scent than traditional marigolds. Enjoy ‘Strawberry Blonde’ marigold in containers or in ground. You really can’t go wrong with this choice!
Height & Spread: ~8”
Plants are sold in mixed 4-packs this year to get you more plants for your dollar!

A Note from the Grower
Plant marigolds for heat-tolerant color all summer long. They also have shown the ability to repel a swathe of pests for nearby dwellers including root knot nematodes for tomatoes and mosquitos for us. Beetles and other true bugs are also repelled by marigolds, making them an asset to your beans or cucumbers. My varieties are grown using integrated pest management and are safe for consumption if desired. Use the petals in teas, sandwiches, salads and the like!
My first memory in the garden is planting marigolds. There is nothing easier to care for in the midwest garden—in ground or potted! I have included several French marigold varieties because of their old-fashioned appeal, longevity on the plant, & ability to repel pests, but I have also added Mexican tarragon which is a common name for a particular marigold species that has tarragon flavored leaves. Check out marigold care requirements.
