Marigold Spinning Wheels Seeds – Heirloom African Favorite

Tagetes erecta 'Spinning Wheels' is an extraordinary open-pollinated heirloom African marigold selection prized for its unique, bi-level bloom architecture and brilliant warm tones. Growing into robust, bushy plants reaching 18 to 24 inches in height, it produces bold 3- to 4-inch flowers with a dense, ruffled central pompom fringed by a surrounding collar of longer, flat ray petals—resembling colorful spinning pinwheels. The vibrant color mix includes rich shades of golden-yellow, bright lemon, and deep orange, set against aromatic, deep blue-green foliage. Extremely fast-growing, heat-tolerant, and pest-resilient, Spinning Wheels provides non-stop color from early summer until frost while acting as a natural protector in vegetable gardens.
