Here is a bold dwarf annual that can be easily started from Marigold seeds. Tagetes Patula is a French Marigold flower featuring semi-double, flat, crested flower heads. Orange dwarf French Marigolds are so gorgeous that they demand a second look! Marigolds are robust, trouble-free plants that establish easily from flower seeds. French Marigolds make a more compact plant and usually only reach 8 - 12 inches (20-30cm) in height. African Marigolds are much taller and produce larger blooms. Both of their places are in the garden!
