Description
- Seeds: 30
- French Marigold was introduced to European gardens from South America in the late 16th century. A handsome striped form of this annual flower was first illustrated in the London-based periodical Curtis' Botanical Magazine in 1791 and was being grown in America by that time. In 1995 Monticello gardeners obtained a similar form, with flowers that vary from striped yellow and maroon to solid yellow and occasionally all red. Sow seeds in a well prepared, sunny site after the last spring frost date. The plants will grow to 3' and create a dazzling display until the first fall frost. Deadhead to prolong flowering.
Pale pink/cream with purple/mauve ruffles
