marigold 'Strawberry Blonde'
French marigold
Bringing the traditional summer favourite up to date, marigold ‘Strawberry Blonde’ is a vigorous and bushy dwarf Tagetes with fully double, bronze, yellow, peachy-pink and copper-tinted flowers, frilled to the max.
Supplied as seedlings, they make super plants for patio pots and window boxes, and they'll also provide an unusual and unexpected russety splash of colour when used in traditional border bedding schemes for contemporary gardens.
Please also be aware that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plants, however we do have a wonderful range on our website to choose from.
