Tagetes patula 'Mr. Majestic' / 'Dandy Stripes'

  • Product number: 557360
  • Origin: Mexico, Central America
  • Latin: Tagetes patula

The flat, open flower has a propeller-shaped pattern in alternating mahogany brown and deep yellow petals. A striking plant with compact growth. Height 30cm.

Single-flowered marigolds used to be unappreciated: too common, "the more double, the better..." In times when the wild and original flower is gaining attention again, this type is very popular! The open flowers proudly display their bright colours and visible flower heart. The flower is approximately 3 cm in diameter.
