Neat in the heat, Janie Deep Orange Marigold 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 rich orange, 2-inch blooms drape the dwarf 8- to 10-inch plants in a soft mantle. Both the blooms and the plant keep their neat shape despite hot weatherthis dwarf Janie Deep Orange Marigold reaches just 8 to 10 inches high and 6 to 8 inches wide, with an exceptionally uniform habit.
Very free-blooming, Janie Deep Orange Marigold is a great choice for the 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 Janie Deep Orange Marigold when the soil has warmed, or start seeds indoors in late winter. Very easy to grow in the sunny garden.
