| Posted by Catmint20906 (Maryland - Zone 7a) on Aug 27, 2014 1:04 PM Aztec Marigold (Tagetes patula) is a colorful Marigold that blooms in various shades of orange, red, and yellow. Like most Marigolds, it is an extremely useful companion plant in the garden, helping to repel aphids, whiteflies, cabbage maggot, corn earworm, Mexican bean beetle, rabbits, some nematodes, and plum curculio. Plant in full sun. Blooms nonstop all season. [ Reply to this comment | |
