Tagetes erecta ‘Sugar & Spice White’ (African Marigold) is a compact, bushy annual boasting large, white, double carnation-type, creamy yellow flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), that fade to white as they mature. Blooming from early summer until frost, the showy blossoms are borne atop the foliage of deep-green leaves divided into lanceolate leaflets. Both flowers and foliage are strongly aromatic and have insect-repelling qualities. Easy to grow and low maintenance, African Marigolds are excellent for beds, borders, and containers.
