The African marigold or Tegetes Erecta plant is a low maintenance flowering plant that comes from the sunflower family. It blooms in beautiful cream, yellow, orange and rusty red colour. It is different from French marigolds in its height as this flowering plant is taller. It can be grown in pots making it ideal for container gardening and it can also be raised in flower beds. You can place it in balconies or terraces and it is an ideal outdoor plant. It can also be placed in the entrances. 

To keep your plant blooming with flowers simply pinch off the old flowers as they start to fade. Adding some plant food every now and then will also help it grow strong and produce an abundance of flowers. It needs plenty of sunlight each day and water it regularly to keep it thriving. The African Marigold is a natural pest repellent, so you can bid farewell to pesky critters munching on your other plants! Simply give it a quick check now and then for any sneaky bugs.

So, if you're on the lookout for a low-maintenance plant that not only adds a burst of color to your garden but also keeps bugs at bay, the African Marigold Plant from GardenGram is the perfect choice!
