Tagetes patula nana, or commonly referred to as French Marigold, is a treasured annual that brightens up any landscape setting. This variety, Double Brocade Red, is 10 inches in height and produces bi-colored blooms in colors of red and yellow. The blooms are semi-double and flat. These are perfect for the front of the border or in containers and window boxes. Everybody loves Marigolds, and they are easy to grow and easy to maintain! They perform from late spring through frost, and with some deadheading, the blooming will continue to be heavy. Start the seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover with soil. Keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 70 - 75F, germination is usually within 20 days. Marigolds can bloom from seed in 8 - 10 weeks. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space the plants 8 inches apart. Grow in full sun and in moist, well-drained soil. Marigolds are usually resistant to deer.
