Marigold Fireball
Fiery and bright, fully double 2½” (6 cm) blooms make Marigold Fireball a favourite. Multi-coloured flowers change from deep red, to bronze orange and finish a dark honey yellow. In the spring, the process is slower and the flower colour is more intense with the mild weather. This is a relatively low maintenance plant. Trim off the flower heads after they fade to encourage more blooms late into the season. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favour of tastier treats. Fireball is well-suited for mass plantings, edging pathways, garden beds, and containers.
