Marigolds can be very many-petalled and frilly, but Dainty Marietta demonstrates the merit of the simpler, single flowers beautifully. The golden petals each have a splash of red and the 30cm flowering height makes it easy to find a spot for them in the garden. Beautiful as an edging, they also look pretty in pots, and few plants could be easier to grow from seed. Consider them as a companion for your root veg since marigolds act as a catch crop for nematodes.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Marigolds are a breeze to grow. You can scatter the seeds and just lightly rake them in, or you can sow them in drills no more than 5mm deep. If you are starting them early in spring in a cooler area, they will benefit from a little protection, so sow them in containers.
