The Earliest and Most Floriferous French Marigold!
Marigold Janie Mix
Blooms just 6 weeks from sowing!
These blooms keep coming through the summer heat!
Neat in the heat, the Janie series is both the earliest and most floriferous French Marigold we know, earning our highest recommendation for garden performance and nonstop beauty! Beginning just 6 weeks after sowing and continuing all summer long, these brightly-colored, 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch blooms drape the dwarf 8-inch plants in a soft mantle. Both the blooms and the plant keep their neat shape despite hot weather--this dwarf reaches just 8 inches high, with an exceptionally uniform habit. This mix contains all the yellow, golden, orange, and deep red shades for which Janie is famous, including bicolors.
Very free-blooming, Janie is a great choice forthe front of the border, edging, and containers of all types. Even effective as a nematode-repellent in the vegetable garden! And these blooms really bring in the butterflies.
Sow direct in the garden when the soil has warmed, or start seeds indoors in late winter. Very easy to grow in the sunny garden. Pkt is 50 seeds.
