It's amazing that these classic flowers hold so much cultural significance all around the world. Marigolds have a reputation for being bright, vibrant, long-lasting, and edible. On top of that, we picked African varieties instead of the more common French because we like the large blooms and crazy branching habit. They also naturally repel problematic insects and provide habitat for beneficial ones. Alex loves them for their floral values and Tyler is really excited to put them in cocktails. A match made in heaven.
