Marigold, African “Tururu” (Tagetes erecta) seeds, organic

Family: Aster (Asteraceae)

Annual:  90 days to flowers

Originally from South America, this is the erect, single-flowered type commonly found in East Africa.  The flowers have a single row of petals, they are orange and gold, and they smell excellently.  Traditional usage (TWM): antiinflammatory, antiseptic and coloring agent for salves and creams.  Plant prefers full sun and regular garden soil.  Sow in spring, in pots or directly in the garden.  Barely cover seed with soil, tamp securely, and keep evenly moist and warm until germination, which takes only a few days.  Grows fast to a 3-foot bush.  Very rewarding.
