Marigold 'Queen Sophia'

Tagetes patula

‘Queen Sophia’ is a French dwarf marigold with dark bronzy gold blossoms that mature to reddish gold - most tipped with gold adding the much adored two toned look. It will grow to a uniform height of 25-30cm with 5-7cm blossoms. Attractive to a host of beneficial insects and pollinators, ‘Queen Sophia’ can be tucked in with tomatoes, cabbages , lettuces, basil for a bright border. We also love it with salvias!

Easy to grow from seeds or transplants. Drought tolerant. Useful in containers.

Marigolds petals are edible - floral flavour with hints of citrus and spice and a slight bitterness - although best to remove them from the flower base which is very bitter. The whole flower is used as decoration, strung on thread or fishing line as bright floral garlands!

An All-American Selections (AAS) Winner in 1979.
