The Tagetes erecta 'Kees Orange' , or large African marigold, is named after the Dutch grower Kees Sahin, who gained a lot of fame with the cultivation of flowering annuals, and introduced many varieties. This is a tall growing African, which flowers all summer with large, very double flowers. The aromatic leaves and flowers have insect repellent properties and the petals are also used as a natural food colouring.
Suitable for borders, pots and vegetable gardens.

Sow indoors in early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost.
