This dwarf variety features beautiful mixed color blooms that will brighten up your entire flower garden from late spring through summer and right up until frost season. Grown from Marigold seeds, these annuals are tireless bloomers with blooms that are a flat pom-pom shape. The flowers have masses of tiny petals that are curled and frilly making a highly textured bloom. The colors make a dazzling display in the garden, window boxes, border, or in a container.

Great plant for companion planting, aides in keeping away some of the bad insects. Marigold companion planting enhances the growth of basil, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, eggplant, gourds, kale, potatoes, squash and tomatoes.
