Description
Tagetes patula
This fiery little plant brings dazzling color to the garden border!
Plant these peppy 12” tall queens en masse for a stunning display of red-orange blooms. Their compact size makes them an excellent front-of-the-border choice, and they fill small spaces in tidy ways. A favorite companion for tomatoes. Prefers full sun. Marigolds are fantastic dye plants!
Seeds grown by Sonshine Acres in Emmett, Idaho.

Directions: Sow directly outside after last frost. Or start indoors 6-8 weeks before and transplant outside after last frost. Barely cover seeds with soil upon planting. Will gently self-seed in the garden.
