PPAF. A completely new look never before seen in African or French Marigolds! In early-spring growing conditions, flowers age and change color more slowly for maximum contrast. In warmer conditions, color changes faster with less distinct contrast. Recommended for spring production over fall, as the cool temperatures of spring enhance the colors. Plants have a mounded habit and spread 6 to 8". Ideal for premium packs, pots, and decorative containers. Blooms start out a very dark, bronze red in early spring and finish to a fiery orange as the flowers mature. Blooms are 2-1/2". Annual.
