Latin Name: Tagetes patula ‘Flamenco’ 

The Marigold ‘Dwarf Double Flamenco’ is a compact, flamboyant annual prized for its ruffled, bicolor blooms and long-lasting color. Reaching 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) tall, it’s ideal for borders, containers, and mass plantings.

This French marigold dazzles with 2–3 inch (5–7 cm) fully double flowers in striking red-and-yellow combinations, resembling flamenco dancer skirts. The crested, layered petals bloom profusely from early summer to frost, with aromatic, fern-like foliage that deters pests.

Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, it’s heat-tolerant and drought-resistant once established. Its vigorous growth and disease resistance make it low-maintenance.

Perfect for cottage gardens or fiery fall displays, pair it with blue lobelia, white zinnias, or purple verbena for bold contrast.
