This eye-catching marigold produces unusual, large semi-double, creamy yellow flowers that are boldly flecked in red. These colourful annuals are excellent for mass bedding, borders, large troughs, tubs and pots on a sunny terrace or patio. For blooming good results feed every two weeks and remove spent blooms for more abundant flowers.
