Bountiful Gardens

Another gorgeous Fall annual is the Marigold. A lot of people see these more as a late Spring and early Summer bloomer, but an amazing fact about Marigolds is that they bloom well into the Fall, with an array of beautiful Fall colors and can even survive a frost!

Marigolds come in a large range of sizes, anywhere from 6 inches up to about four feet for African Marigolds! They have a nice, light chocolate-y scent to them that helps deter deer, so you can plant them around other plants to help keep those deer away. Marigolds also attract beneficial insects to the garden, which help get rid of pesky pests!
