The superior branching, intermediate height, and dense flower structure of Marvel II marigolds ensure top performance throughout the summer and into the fall, even in adverse weather conditions. Large pompom-shaped, brightly-colored flowers begin early, in about 10 weeks from seed. Sturdy, 16-18 in. tall and 10-12 in wide plants do not need staking, and excel in large containers, landscape plantings, and as long-lasting cut flowers.
