The Earliest and Most Floriferous French Marigold!
Marigold Janie Yellow
Blooms just 6 weeks from sowing!
Bright yellow blooms keep coming through the summer heat!
Neat in the heat, Janie Yellow 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 sunny, 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.
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 the yellow 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.

Small but Mighty
I've grown this 2 years in a row and plan on this year, as well. These are short in stature but produce a mass abundance of blossoms all summer long up until the first frost. YLike previous reviewer mentioned they do have a red tinged center when openning but open fully to a bright clear yellow. As with all marigolds dead heading is a must to keep looking tidy and encourage more blooms.
Marigold 'Janie Yellow'
This is a great plant. It looks exactly like the picture. They bloom for a long period of time-ours bloomed from June to October, and they would have bloomed longer if it hadn't frosted. Just note that the flowers are red towards the center when the buds first open, but they are completely yellow when fully open.
