Marigold French Durango Outback (Tagetes patula) produces exceptional 2–2½" blooms with remarkable uniformity across highly branching plants that fill garden spaces with vibrant color and texture. Ideal for packs, pots, and garden beds, this variety delivers reliable performance with approximately 80% germination or better, ensuring consistent stand establishment. Flowers emerge in roughly 50 days, providing extended seasonal color from early summer through frost. The compact, bushy growth habit makes these plants particularly valuable for container gardening and landscape edging. Beyond ornamental appeal, Durango Outback marigolds serve as functional garden allies. They attract beneficial insects like hoverflies that prey on common garden pests, while simultaneously repelling harmful insects and snakes through natural compounds in their foliage. This dual-action pest management approach reduces reliance on chemical interventions. The vigorous plants maintain their ornamental quality throughout the growing season with minimal deadheading required. Our Non-GMO heirloom seeds arrive in sustainable, environmentally conscious packaging that's reusable and recyclable, reflecting a commitment to responsible gardening practices. Note: French marigolds are ornamental only and should not be consumed.
