Description
***COMING NOVEMBER 1ST***
An exceedingly elegant French Marigold, with long stems, aromatic foliage and deep red flowers edged with gold. They are extremely easy to grow (and save seed from) and extremely useful in a cut garden. One sowing will give you buckets of foliage followed by bunches of richly coloured flowers.
Cinnabar is a Great Dixter original (go visit this garden if you haven't already) - selected from a particularly tall specimen found in their borders. When I say tall, I mean tall - Cinnabar reaches 1.2m, so don’t plant it in between your tomatoes! Give it its own area of the garden to flourish in.
- Sow: Mar-April undercover, May-June outside.
- Plant: 4-6 weeks after sowing at 30cm. Wait until risk of frost has passed.
- Harvest: Pick stems when flowers are half open. 60cm stem length.
- Vase: Expect a vase life of 7 days.
