| Does anyone know the name of this marigold? I saw it in the video I posted and they don't mention its name, the man just says that one is more compact than the hoer. The video is in Spanish but you can see how much marigolds a family grows for day of the dead celebrations. |

| Looks like a french marigold. I grew the variety "golden guardian" that is a smidge lighter in color than these many years ago. Each year I have a couple reseed themselves and continue on in my gardens. I got the seed originally from Park Seed. Many seed vendors sell french marigolds. "Harlequin" is a pretty multi-colored variety. FataMorgana

| Last year I grew a T. erecta variety, not the one you list, a different that is from an African strain. I included a link to it below. It was easy to grow and produced many blooms. It didn't occur to me but it does look pretty similar to the blooms in the picture you posted. FataMorgana |
