Product Details

In cooler weather, Red Metamorph's flowers are a deep burgundy, but when the weather warms, watch as splashes of yellow appear on the petals! Then when cooler weather comes back around, the blooms change back to solid burgundy. Beautiful as a garden hedge, this French marigold is stout and dense at about 2'-3' tall. French marigolds are edible, but with a very strong flavor similar to its pungent scent. Prolific bloomer attracts beneficial insects.

    Fantastic, large, gorgeous marigolds. Very impressed. Next to Big Box single color marigolds, these tower over them. Many compliments on the colors in these flowers.

    Sadly this is exactly what was in my seed packet. I planted them and am hoping for the best but there were only 5 viable seeds in this packet.

    Absolutely LOVED these. They were not only beautiful, but attracted so many pollinators. My only regret was I didn't plant them more places in the garden. They were a perfect addition to my Monarch Waystation.
