Plants stay tidy and uniform, reaching roughly 6 to 10 inches tall, which makes them easy to place at the front of beds, along borders, or in containers where their fine, fern-like foliage and abundant small flowers can be appreciated up close.\u003cbr\u003e\nThese marigolds flower freely over a long season, opening continuously from early summer into fall in most climates. The single blooms draw bees, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects, making them a practical and cheerful choice for pollinator-friendly and cottage-style plantings. They pair well with herbs, vegetables, and other annuals in mixed borders and cutting gardens, and the stems are long enough for small, informal bouquets. Old blooms can be removed to encourage continued flowering, and seed heads can be collected for saving.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Tagetes patula\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Dainty Marietta\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Heirloom annual flower\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Compact, upright, mounding, 6-10 inches tall\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, average fertility; tolerates poor to moderate soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: Grown as an annual in all zones; perennial in frost-free zones 9-11\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 7-14 days at 65-75F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep evenly moist; do not cover deeply as light aids germination\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-8 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Deadhead regularly for continued bloom; allow some flowers to mature for seed saving\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664737304712,"sku":"AGY-192","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.8096941873_nyfq_68206450-8acd-4e82-9242-d4f3592744fa.jpg?v=1791898407","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-seeds-dainty-marietta-french-marigold-heirloom-tagetes-patula-flower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
