Plant details
This annual marigold has dark orange daisy-like flowers with reddish-brown tinted petals. Its long stems make it perfect for cutting for indoor displays. If specifically growing for cut flowers, pinch out the terminal buds to encourage more flowers. Like most hardy annuals, it is easy to grow and can be simply sown where it is to flower. It is tolerant of any well-drained soil, even quite poor ones.

Last summer i brought a not very established bay tree it sits potted nicely by my front door it is positioned well and gets plenty of natural light but with the recent harsh weather it is looking rather weather stricken and quite a few of the leaves are going a rusty brown colour dispite me feeding and watering the bay tree im baffled by this as bay trees are hardy.I would appreciate any feed back on what may be the problem?
