Bonanza™ Yellow French marigold (Tagetes patula) This compact variety produces abundant 5–6 cm double crested flowers in a bright, even yellow. The packet contains approximately 90 bare seeds. Plants reach 25–30 cm tall and spread 15–20 cm, a convenient size for borders, garden beds, containers, and hanging baskets. The flowers are also edible when grown and harvested under suitable conditions without treatments that would make them inappropriate for consumption. Its uniform habit creates clearly defined masses of colour, while the double flower heads remain easy to enjoy in small gardens and on patios. The compact size also makes planning spacing and container combinations straightforward.
For best results, sow indoors 4–5 weeks before the last frost and keep the growing medium near 22 °C. Germination generally takes 5–8 days. Cover the seeds lightly with coarse vermiculite and keep the mix moist until emergence, then reduce moisture without allowing seedlings to wilt. Use a porous, well-drained seed-starting mix and harden plants gradually before transplanting after frost danger has passed. After emergence, bright light and measured moisture help seedlings remain compact. You can rotate containers as needed to encourage balanced growth before transplanting. Space seedlings so air can move between them as foliage develops.
Plant in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil, spacing plants 15–20 cm apart. This French marigold tolerates a range of conditions and brief dry periods, but flowering is more generous with regular watering that does not leave the soil waterlogged. Removing faded flowers helps maintain a tidy appearance and prolonged bloom, generally from June through September. Its compact form fits easily in front of taller plants or along a walkway. In containers, check moisture more often during hot weather because the growing mix dries faster than garden soil. Water near the base when the surface begins to dry and avoid leaving the pot in standing water.
