French Marigold 'Naughty Marietta', Dwarf French Marigold
Introduced in 1947, Tagetes patula ‘Naughty Marietta’ (French Marigold) is a compact, bushy annual boasting a profusion of single flowers with bright golden-yellow petals each marked with a central garnet blotch. Blooming from late spring to late summer, the showy blossoms generously cover the finely divided aromatic foliage. The flowers and foliage have a spicy fragrance and have been used to deter insects in the garden. Easy to grow and low maintenance, French marigolds are excellent for beds, patio containers, or as edging plants.
