Marigold Durango Red Seed
Best vibrant annual for gardeners seeking reliable, early-blooming container color.
These anemone-type marigolds deliver a punchy, russet-red saturation that most annuals simply can't match. They trade the wild, sprawling habit of heirloom varieties for a compact, well-branched structure that looks as polished in a container as it does in a formal garden bed.
