Marigold Fireball

Marigold Fireball is anything but ordinary. This eye-catching French marigold (Tagetes patula) displays a rare trait—its blooms change colour as they mature. Each flower begins a rich deep red, then shifts through glowing bronze and orange, before settling into a warm, golden tone. This transformation adds movement and depth to any display, making it a standout choice for gardeners looking to create visual interest.

Its compact habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, and even balcony planters. Despite the drama it brings, it’s incredibly easy to grow. Fireball thrives in full sun, blooms reliably from spring until frost, and asks for little maintenance in return. It also attracts pollinators, bringing life and movement to your garden in more ways than one.

Whether you’re creating a fiery palette with reds and oranges or letting it steal the spotlight against green foliage, Marigold Fireball adapts with ease. Because its colour evolves over time, each plant offers a dynamic display that never feels static or predictable.
