I have replaced my marigolds with this plant. It stands up much better to the hot and humid Georgia summers. Whether we have rainy or dry weather this plant is a show stopper. It does require well draining soil. My butterflies love it!

Pictures of this flower does not do it justice, it’s a very pretty scarlet orange color, must be hard to capture in a picture, I have it growing in sun and part shade and they are very drought tolerant planted in the ground, sometimes I water them once a week and sometimes not and they keep on flowering! I plan on planting more of these and different colors for next year.

We grew two 18 inch pots of this plant in the full sun in Phoenix (zone 9)during the summer and fall. It was watered every other day in the hot period. It still looks great!
