Harmony French Marigold (Tagetes patula 'Harmony') is a compact variety of French marigold known for its bicolor flowers with golden-yellow centers and mahogany-red outer petals bloom on branching stems from late spring through summer. Grows best in full sun and evenly moist well-drained soils. Naturally repels insects and soil nematodes. The Hot Pak series is extra-compact and has improved heat tolerance that continues to bloom strong in high summer heat.
