Marigolds - Tagetes

No other annual, except maybe for the pansy, is accepted and grown by more gardeners across the northeast.  Since we began selling annual bedding packs and perennials in 1986, Marigolds have been the mainstay of our offering and continues to do so today.  These tidy, compact plants start flowering from the minute you take them home until the last hard frost of October.  Their drought and heat tolerance from the hot days of summer is well documented and when you think this versatile plant is all used up, it rebounds with vigor in the cooler days of September, which makes this plant such a popular one with gardeners and landscapers everywhere.

Common Name: French Dwarf Single 'Marigold'
Botanical Name : Tagetes Patula  'Disco Series'

Disco is a riot of bright color on compact, well-branched, early-blooming plants. The 2 1/4-inch blooms dazzle in festive shades of yellow, orange, red and bi-colors. They arise in tremendous numbers on these compact yet well-branched 12-inch plants. All very uniform in habit and bloom time, these colors are dazzling alone or in a mixed planting. They're a great choice for beds, borders, and containers of all types, including window boxes. They keep their bright color over a long season, and their high bud count means that you'll enjoy many flushes of fresh bloom! Superb for edging, they are even effective in vegetable gardens, where they repel nematodes naturally. And where Marigolds go, butterflies follow!

Common Name: French Crested 'Marigold'
Botanical Name : Tagetes Patula  Janie Series'

Neat in the heat, the 'Janie' series is both the earliest and most floriferous French Marigold we know, earning our highest recommendation for garden performance and nonstop beauty! Beginning right out of the pack and continuing all summer long, these rich orange, 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch blooms drape the plants in a soft mantle. Both the blooms and the plant keep their neat shape despite hot weather. This dwarf reaches just 8 inches high, with an exceptionally uniform habit.  Very free-blooming, Janie is a great choice for the front of the border, edging, and containers of all types. Even effective as a nematode-repellent in the vegetable garden! And these blooms really bring in the butterflies.
