Durango marigolds are the dependable, low-maintenance choice for a sunny bed or border. The plants stay compact and bushy, covered in fully double blooms in golds, oranges, and rusts that keep coming all season. Marigolds are heat- and drought-tolerant once established, ask for very little, and their scent is one many gardeners like to tuck near the vegetable patch. Full sun and a planting after the late-May frost are all they need.
