Blooming longer—by far—than any other marigold, Antigua wins the flower power award. But the huge, gorgeous 3-inch yellow globes aren't the only great thing about this hybrid—it's also a very tough, compact garden performer that starts blooming just 60 days from sowing and develops a dense habit that can't be beat.
Very free-blooming, these plants keep their neat 10- to 12-inch height all season, making them a great choice in front of tall perennials, annuals, and shrubs. And where marigolds go, butterflies follow.
Sow direct in the garden when the soil has warmed, or start seeds indoors in late winter. Very easy to grow in the sunny garden.
