Marigold, Orange Flame

Annual. We love the unique blooms on this dwarf French type! Bronzy red to orange single petals with a bright orange plume of petals at the center. Try planting these special marigolds en masse or along borders for a flaming effect in the garden. Don’t forget that French marigolds are naturally pest resistant and make useful companion plants to things like squash and tomatoes!
