Marigold New World Seed

These marigolds ditch the standard neon orange for a sophisticated, color-shifting palette that evolves as the season progresses. While you sacrifice the predictable uniformity of classic varieties, you gain a dynamic, pest-resistant showstopper that thrives in both containers and garden beds.
