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.

Last year, a lot of my garden was decimated by potato beetles. This year I mixed Tururu in my rows of potatoes and my leafy greens. The results were amazing. Not only did it keep down the bugs above ground, I’d swear it also worked as a biofumigant as my potato harvest was perfect.
