Description
Hot Pak Yellow French Marigold is a compact annual with a mounding habit and aromatic basal foliage. Uniform and fragrant double flowers with bright yellow petals bloom on branching stems from late spring through summer. Grows best in full sun and evenly moist well-drained soils. Naturally repels insects and soil nematodes. The Hot Pak series is extra-compact and has improved heat tolerance that continues to bloom strong in high summer heat.
