Pot Marigold Citrus Smoothies
Big 4-inch blooms all summer and well into fall!
Unlike most Pot Marigolds, Citrus Smoothies sport soft colors and an abundance of creamy petals tipped in either yellow or apricot. You will find these flowers just indispensible in indoor arrangements, yet the plant is too charming to be relegated to the cutting garden. Instead, set a generous planting in the rear of the sunny to partly-shaded bed or border and pick all the blooms you want over the super-long two-season bloomtime! Citrus Smoothies will never miss 'em!
One of the few annuals that makes the summer-to-fall leap without losing petal power, this Calendula is a lovely companion to cool-season Asters. You've got to try Citrus Smoothies alongside the remarkable new Lilliput Blue Moon" and the elegant Seastar Mix.
Citrus Smoothies reach 20 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, with an upright habit that shows off the blooms nicely. They don't mind a little shade in warm climates, but blaze best in full sun farther north. Pkt is 50 seeds.
