French Marigold Petite Mix is a colourful dwarf marigold variety producing compact plants covered with bright double flowers. The blooms appear in a warm mix of yellow, orange, and red, making this variety ideal for adding strong colour to summer borders, patio pots, containers, small beds, and hanging baskets.
With a compact height of around 20–30cm, Petite Mix is especially useful for edging, front-of-border planting, and container displays. It is easy to grow and performs best in a sunny position after the risk of frost has passed.
This half-hardy annual is a good choice for gardeners who want long-lasting colour with minimal space needed.
