Tagetes patula
Minimum seed count:  30
 
I am enamored with these beautiful French marigolds!  Blooms start out yellow, then change to muted pinks, peaches, and rosy reds with age and with changing weather.  Colors even deepen when cooler temperatures set in.  Plants grow to 8-10 inches and do well in containers or borders.  Blooms all season with continued dead-heading.  Stems are too short for a vase, but what a gorgeous flower crown they would make!
