Queen Sophia

The orange is called a "Queen Sophia" french marigold. Queens are native to Central America, contrary to their name. An ally in any garden! My absolute favorite marigold. When it cools down and I begin to cut bouquets. You will see why this Queen is the perfect fall flower. Queens are annual, but I haven't planted in years. They self seed. If a Queen volunteers in the wrong place. Easy to replant, just a spoonful of sugar in the first water. Takes the transplant shock away.
