Some varieties have a single rows of petals, while others have pom-pom-like, petal-packed double blooms. As a group, marigolds grow 8 to 42 inches tall as low mounds or erect bushes. The 1-to 4-inch flowers may appear rounded, tufted, or shaggy in shades of white, yellow, orange, mahogany, maroon, and rust. The dark green leaves are dense, ferny, and often strongly scented.
