Tender Annual. Daintier than other marigolds and a great garden performer. A bushy, profuse-flowering marigold which carries solitary flowers that are mostly two-toned with petals that are flat and overlapping. Blooms come in single or double-flowering types. Many are vividly colored with rust and red shades, or banded or splotched with contrasting reds and golds. An excellent choice for a bedding plant, border or cutting bed. Easy to grow in average quality garden soil with full sun and good drainage. Deadheading will help further flower production.
