Queen Sophia Marigold

Annual. Gorgeous to the point of excess! Double, deep orange-to-russet flowers reach 2.5” in diameter. They have a tidy, geometric look because the petals occur in neat concentric rings. Each petal lays nearly flat, without crowding its neighbors, showing the intricate edging, penciled in pure gold. Foot high plants are great for bedding, edging the border, or in window boxes or pots.
