Tagetes patula or French marigold variety Strawberry Blonde flower seeds
Tagetes patula, also known as French marigolds, grow large pompom flowers that attract many insects. The strawberry blonde variety gives flowers in a mixed palette of yellow, bronze, peach, and red flowers. Besides being a very strong garden plant the low variety is grown as a beneficial plant. The strawberry blonde marigolds are great for pots and balconies. Despite being so commonly grown in our European garden, the plants originate from Mexico! Keep in mind that the strawberry blonde marigold is a low variety. The seeds have been grown by a professional grower and tested so you know you get the strawberry blonde plants you expect.
