I swear the tapping on the flowers was unconscious 😂
Loving these Coco Gold Marigolds! From Johnny's Selected Seeds
They definitely need support. I’ve found the best way is to use Tenax Hortonova netting horizontally and connect it with zip ties to T-posts.
I planted these randomly throughout the garden beds, forgetting how HUGE they get! But these are AMAZING at deterring deer and rabbits. My primary reason for planting them in all the beds was for that reason. At the beginning of the season I had several sunflowers damaged by deer 🦌 and have had ZERO issues since these marigolds were planted.
I personally love their fragrance and they’re incredibly productive! Also, these will be the last flowers standing in the garden even after a light frost arrives at the end of the season. ❄️
