Full 8-colour assortment available for 2026.

The Heat-Defying Powerhouse This is what’s known as a “mule” or triploid marigold. Because it doesn’t spend any energy making seeds, it puts 100% of its effort into making massive flowers. It’s incredibly heat-tolerant and will keep blooming like crazy right through the hottest Dresden summer days until the first hard frost. It’s basically the marathon runner of the marigold world! Full assortment for 2026. (New for Trial 2026)

The Color-Changing Magic Trick This is a total showstopper and a huge favorite for a reason. The flowers actually change color as they age! They start out a deep, fiery bronze-red and slowly transition to a bright gold. Since the plant is always producing new buds, you’ll have a mix of three or four different colors all on the same plant at once. It’s like a sunset in a pot. Extreme novelty.

The Sophisticated Pastel Similar to Fireball, this variety offers a stunning color-shifting effect but in much softer, “shabby chic” tones. You’ll see a beautiful blend of rosy pink, sandy yellow, and creamy primrose. It’s perfect if you want the hardiness of a marigold but prefer a more subtle, trendy color palette for your garden beds. Extreme novelty.

It features stunning, bi-color blooms with a mix of zesty orange and deep mahogany-red that really does look like a ripe mango. It stays nice and compact, but the flowers are surprisingly large and “puffy” (anemone-style). It’s a great way to add a bit of exotic, tropical energy to your garden without any extra work. Amazing petal contrast, great for solo planting.

The Early Bird True to its name, this variety is designed to bring a smile to your face as quickly as possible. It’s one of the fastest marigolds to reach full bloom, so you don’t have to wait around for color. It stays very low (6-7″) to the ground and bushy, making it the ideal choice for “edging” along a walkway or the front of a flower bed.

Top choice for blending with small pots. 4 colour assortment, including a mini-spry.

The Wildfire Heirloom This one is a total standout because it doesn’t grow like a typical “short” marigold. It has long, elegant stems and a bit of a wilder, more graceful look. The flowers are a deep, smoldering red with thin golden edges, almost like glowing coals. Because it’s taller and has more of a “wildflower” vibe, it’s a favorite for pollinators and looks incredible when the wind catches it in a garden bed.

The Cool and Creamy Classic If you’re looking for something a bit more sophisticated, this is it. Instead of the usual bright neon oranges, Vanilla Cream offers large, “puffy” blooms in a soft, buttery ivory. It’s part of the Alumia series, so you know it’ll stay nice and uniform, but that pale, dreamy color makes it look very high-end. It’s the perfect choice for a “moon garden” or for mixing with purples and blues in a patio pot.

The “Little Giant” Height: 10–12″ (Dwarf/Compact) This is the specific choice for maximum colour in minimum space. What makes the Antigua unique is its flower-to-plant ratio: it stays incredibly short and stocky, yet it pumps out the same massive, 3-inch blooms as the giant varieties. Because the flowers often cover the foliage entirely, it creates a solid carpet of colour that is perfect for windy spots or edging the very front of your garden borders.

The “Anti-Flop” Classic Height: 12–14″ (Compact) The Inca II is famous for one specific trait: it stands its ground. While other large-flowered marigolds can get top-heavy and tip over in a summer storm, these have genetically thick, sturdy stems that hold the massive double blooms straight up. They stay a manageable, uniform height, making them the perfect choice for keeping your pots and borders looking tidy without any sprawl.

The Bushy Bloomer Height: 16–18″ (Medium) What sets the Marvel II apart is its superior branching. Unlike older African marigolds that grow a single “stick” before flowering, these branch out early to create a lush, wide mound that covers the soil quickly. Standing a bit taller than the Incas, they are fantastic for filling gaps in flower beds because just one plant takes up a lot of visual space with huge, high-impact blooms.

The “Huge Bloom, Short Plant” Wonder
Height: 10–15″ (Naturally Compact) Don’t let the name fool you, this plant stays low to the ground! The “Big” refers strictly to the flowers, which are absolutely massive, sometimes covering the entire top of the plant. Unlike older varieties that need to grow tall to support big flowers, the Big Duck is genetically compact. It’s perfect for mass planting in beds where you want a solid carpet of orange without any “leggy” stems showing.

The Cut-Flower King Height: 36–45″ (Very Tall) While the others are for bedding, the Coco series is born for bouquets. These are bred specifically for height, shooting up to nearly 4 feet tall with long, straight stems that are perfect for cutting. If you want to bring that golden summer colour inside to your kitchen table, this is the professional florist’s choice. Best planted at the very back of the garden!
Deep Orange and Deep Yellow available.

The classic Wave Petunia is a favorite! The original, it has a vigorous, low spreading habit that quickly reaches 2 to 4 feet across!

Purple Classic and Misty Lilac available for 2026.

Easy Wave offers a more controlled, mounding habit that stays fuller and neater than classic spreading types. Plants grow 8 to 12 inches tall and spread up to 2.5 feet, creating a rounded shape that works in containers, baskets, and garden beds.

Assortment available for 2026.

Shock Wave delivers a tight, dense spreading habit with smaller, rain tolerant blooms that hold up better in rough weather. Plants stay compact at 7 to 10 inches tall while spreading up to 2.5 feet, creating a low carpet of color. The smaller flowers recover quickly after rain and keep blooming from spring to frost. Excellent for baskets, combo planters, and fast, even coverage in the garden.

Assortment available for 2026.

Tidal Wave is the most vigorous petunia in the Wave series, forming an extra large, hedge like mound or a massive spreading carpet depending on spacing. Plants can reach 16 to 22 inches tall and spread 3 to 4 feet, filling big areas quickly. Strong stems hold their shape, even in wind and rain. Constant blooming from spring to frost makes it ideal for bold landscape impact and large statement containers.

Red Velour, Silver, Purple, Cherry available for 2026.

Sophistica petunias feature large, unique blooms beyond the typical. The one-of-a-kind patterns and shades stand out against the rest, and are true designer choices for your planters.

Blackberry, Lime, and Antique Shades available for 2026.

Caliburst Yellow aren’t just your regular petunia, they’re actually a petchoa! (Meaning half-petunia, half-calibrachoa)! They’re grown just like a regular petunia though, and behave quite similarly! But what makes them special is they’re one of the best yellow petunias you can buy. They pair very nicely with basically every other sun-loving annual, and look stunning with red, pink, and purple petunias nearby!

FotoFinish petunias take their namesake seriously. They bloom very quickly, and are a perfect match for our latitude. We trialed them together in 2025, and for 2026, they’re the secret sauce for my Canada Day planters. The simple, yet bright blooms are exactly what you want for basic colour combination planters. They are especially selected because they have amazing flower timing, ensuring they look perfect just in time for July 1st.
