French Marigold Red Cherry produces masses of large, crested mahogany-red flowers beautifully laced with gold. The richly coloured blooms positively glow when planted together, creating a bold summer display in borders and patio containers. Compact, free-flowering plants provide colour for months and regular deadheading will keep the flowers coming well into autumn.
