Marigold African Queen

Marigold African Queen brings instant warmth to any garden. With bold, double yellow blooms, it lights up borders, beds, and containers from late spring to the first frost. This Marigold variety grows into a tidy, compact shape, which makes it perfect for small gardens or spaces that need a tidy burst of colour.

Thanks to its strong stems and sun-loving nature, African Queen thrives even in hot, dry spots. It handles a range of soil types and doesn’t need much maintenance, which is ideal if you’re after a no-fuss floral display. You can count on it to deliver consistent performance all season.

Moreover, its intense golden shade pairs beautifully with cooler tones or deeper reds and purples. Whether planted solo or as part of a vibrant mix, it commands attention. Try combining it with soft grasses or low-growing herbs to create contrast and movement.

In short, Marigold African Queen isn’t just a pretty face—it’s tough, generous, and full of life. That’s what makes it a true favourite in sunny outdoor spaces.

Usage
Use African Queen to frame garden beds or add cheerful contrast to mixed containers. Its height and structure make it perfect for creating sunny focal points, while its consistent blooms fill out borders with lasting colour and energy from late spring through to autumn.
