About

A marigold variety that is great for natural dyeing and has gorgeous blooms in orange and yellow. Loved by pollinators for their strong scent, they are a reliable workhorse in the garden producing masses of cheerful blooms on slightly longer stems from July long into September. This variety is often grown as a dye plant, producing a deep and colourfast golden mustard on plant and animal fibres. (Approximate seed count - 100)
