An annual that delivers big, bold color from planting time straight through heat and dry stretches—the Durango Outback Mix carries blooms that don't fade or thin out when temperatures climb. This seed mix gives you a range of warm tones in one planting, so you get variety without fussing with individual pots.

Space them 12 to 18 inches apart in a sunny bed and water in well at planting; after that they're low-maintenance. Deadheading extends the show, but these marigolds bloom reliably even when you skip it.
