Marigold ‘Safari Yellow Fire’

French Marigold ‘Safari Yellow Fire’—a layered look in color and form

Since Marigolds like the warmer weather many people plant them among their tomatoes to discourage pests, but they also attract bees to the vegetable blooms. ‘Safari Yellow Fire’ is a French Marigold, a smaller plant with a big pincushion flower for its size. This is a personal favorite, with bright reds rimmed by a bold golden edge. Blooms have a beautiful layered look in color and form—there’s an interesting tuft at the center of the flower as new petals open over the older ones.

‘Safari Yellow Fire’ is available in the 1801L.
