Marigold 'Strawberry Blond'

Not all flowers need to have show-off colors and 'Strawberry Blond' French marigolds may prove the point. The subtly colored blooms will provide an eye-catching contrast to darker flowers such as 'Black Mamba' petunias. They also pair well with white flowers to create a quietly elegant mixed planter of summer color. This variety's compact form makes it a great filler for hanging baskets and container planters, and does equally well at the front of sunny garden borders. Deer tend to avoid it due to its strong scent and bitter leaves, so consider using marigolds as a pretty barricade to other, less deer-resistant plants.
