About this seed
Marigold Safari Bolero is a stunning French marigold featuring large semi-double anemone flowers with a striking bicolour pattern. The compact, vigorous plants reach just 23 cm tall, making them ideal for pots, containers, window boxes, and the front of borders. Safari marigolds are bred for spring and summer performance and germinate incredibly fast - you'll see radicles in just 2-3 days. Like all marigolds, they're excellent companion plants that deter pests, and they bloom non-stop from early summer right through to frost.
