This flower is super special. The blooms are a pink-ish orange, blooming almost rosy plum when the weather is cooler in the fall. It's a brand new variety to the world and we are so happy to make it available to you!

Marigolds are used in sacred ceremonies the world round, found on alters from Mexico to India. If their holy lineage isn't enough to encourage you to tuck a few of these plants into your garden, Marigolds are also edible (you can eat the blossoms and the ferny foliage), they are natural pest deterrents, and they make a gorgeous orange dye.

Includes 25 seeds
