Large-flowered mixed.

Giant-flowered African marigolds (5-10 cm in diameter) remind me of my childhood; I loved their scent and enjoyed walking through fields of these big guys. The large spherical flowers are a nice old-fashioned decoration for the garden, and for the taller varieties: excellent for cutting!
This Tagetes also works against harmful nematodes (eelworms); for more crops, see the chapter "Useful Plants" in the group "Disease-resistant Plants".
