Dainty Marietta is a charming French marigold with cheerful golden-yellow flowers marked by distinctive deep mahogany-red splashes near the center of each petal. The single blooms have an open, daisy-like appearance that gives them a lighter, more delicate look than heavily doubled marigolds. Compact, bushy plants bloom abundantly from early summer until frost and are wonderfully easy to grow. Dainty Marietta is perfect for borders, containers, vegetable gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings, adding bright color all season long with very little fuss.
