The winner of several awards for their outsized blooms, the Safari Marigolds are a delight. Double-flowered and quick to mature, these French beauties arise on compact plants. And with this formula mix, you get 6 luscious colors in quantities you can really make a splash with.
The flowers reach 2½ inches wide, with large, flattish base petals and smaller, ruffled top petals. The flower form may remind you of Anemones, but technically these are crested Marigolds. The unusual shape just adds one more point of interest to their beautiful display.
Very uniform across all colors, the Safaris reach 10 to 12 inches high when blooming, and spread just 6 to 8 inches wide. This makes them ideal for containers of all kinds, not to mention bedding plots. Their neat, contained habit is great for design and pattern plantings, and they flower from early summer all the way into fall. So easy, so bright, so dependable.
The Safari mix contains the solid colors yellow, orange, tangerine, gold, and red, as well as the bicolor Bolero, a sizzling combination of red and gold. Enjoy their display for months to come.
