This compact but showy multi-colored annual flower is a striking addition to the garden!

Marigolds are the ultimate companion plants. They repel pests, attract beneficial insects, and provide gorgeous color planted around garden vegetables. French Brocade is a tidy plant reaching 12-18” tall, with ruffly, frilly blooms in a mix of red, orange, and yellow. Studying the intricate colors and complex structure of a single one of these mesmerizing flowers will send you into a deep and welcome rabbit hole of awe at the beauty of this world.
