(Tagetes patula)

This French marigold is perfect for pots or as a border plant. The petals are a deep orange with a hint of gold tracing the margins. We’ve found this variety to be an early bloomer that is prolific until the first frost.

We primarily grow this variety for its yellow/orange dye, but it is also great in bouquets or as an edible garnish (just make sure to remove flowers from the bitter flower base).

Start seeds indoors and transplant after your last frost, or direct sow in late spring or early summer when the soil has warmed.
