GARDEN
African Marigold Is Hardy,
Adapts To Most Soils
The African marigold U a
member of the Compositae family
that did not originate in
Africa. African marigolds, like
zinnias, are native to Mexico.
The plant takes its formal name,
Targetes Erecta, from an Etruscan
diety. Etruria is the ancient
Roman name given to a part of
N.W. Italy, where the marigold
was probably introduced sometime
in the 16th century.
As one *ould expect of a
Mexican plant, the African marigold
is somewhat hardy, producing
a sturdy plant that is usually
capable of adjusting to local
soil conditions. In moderate
climates, seeds may be planted
under glass in early spring and
transplanted in outdoor locations
once the danger of frost is
past. In tropical areas, the seeds
are usually planted outside.
The African marigold likes
full sunlight. Watering is required
until the plant is established
but does not have to be
continued on a regular basis except
during periods of lengthy
drought.
Large, single, yellow or orange
flowers bloom in summer
and late autumn in the moderate
and temperate regions, often
much longer in the tropical
climes. Extended blooming can
be induced by removing dead
flower heads on a regular basis.
Some cultivars are double
flowered and may bloom in a
variety of colon. Plant height
ranges from one to three feet.
