French Marigold, also known as Dwarf Marigold or Spreading Marigold , produces compact, bushy plants with bright, ruffled blooms in yellow, orange, red, and bi-colour shades. It grows well in warm weather, prefers full sunlight and well-drained soil, and is suitable for 6-8 inch pots, borders, garden beds, and companion planting around vegetables. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, it spread worldwide as a popular ornamental flower due to its long blooming season, bold colours, and easy-care nature.
