This stunning marigold boasts a compact plant with continuous double blossoms throughout the summer until frost. Its rare and beautiful mahogany and gold striped flowers are not only appealing to pollinators, but also enhance any garden. This variety was selected for striped varieties. Unparalleled flowers in extravagant yellow and maroon bloom early in the summer and continue until frost. Like all French marigolds, Majestic Marigold can help control nematodes with their root exudates. The petals provide a fast and permanent dye in a rich rust tone, providing more dye per flower for your crafting endeavors.

Plants height 1-1.5 feet tall. 60-70 days to maturity.

 

Marigolds will flower all summer until the first heavy frost. Can be started indoors 3/25-4/21 or sown directly outdoors after frost (5/20-7/20). Plant seeds ¼” deep, with final spacing 8” apart. 5-10 days until germination at 75°F. Deadheading (removing spent flowers) will encourage new flowers to grow.
