The Marigold Giant Sunset, 'Tagetes erecta', is a tall Marigold that will grow to 3 foot tall. If you love Marigolds, why not go all out and try a Marigold that will grow TALL. The flowers are also large and are shades of orange and yellow. This Marigold is excellent for edging, pots, containers, and as a cut flower. The Giant Sunset will begin to bloom in late spring and will continue to bloom until first frost. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. They are moderately drought tolerant, so only water when needed.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California.  These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids.  Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
