I'm just crazy about Marigold 'Naughty Marietta'. It blooms quickly from seed with charming flowers of bright golden-yellow with maroon blotches.
French Marigold 'Naughty Marietta' is perfect for containers or the edge of the border. The single flowers attract butterflies and beneficial insects , making it a good choice for companion planting in the vegetable garden.
I sowed Marigold 'Naughty Marietta' in late July after pulling up some early-blooming annuals that were finished. By September, I had fresh marigold flowers in the garden!
