Durango Bee marigolds flower hard through September heat and hold their blooms without dropping petals in rain or humidity. The gold and red bicolor petals catch the eye in beds, borders, and cutting gardens.

Sow directly in garden soil after the last frost date, or set out transplants once nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F. They thrive in full sun and lean, well-drained soil—rich ground produces more leaf than flower.
