Dwarf French Marigolds (Tagetes patula) are compact, free-flowering annuals prized for their cheerful orange, yellow, and red blooms. These bushy plants typically grow 6–12 inches tall, making them ideal for edging, borders, containers, and mixed flower beds. The colorful flowers appear throughout summer and attract pollinators, adding lively color to any garden space.
Easy to grow from seed, Dwarf French Marigolds are a popular choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. They perform well in full sun and well-drained soil, and their compact habit means they fit neatly into small gardens or patio pots.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7–14 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Dwarf French Marigolds are relatively low-maintenance and generally pest-resistant, making them a reliable choice for colorful summer displays.
