‘Primrose Pygmy’—Primrose-yellow flowers with a red base.
‘Yellow Pygmy’—Lemon-yellow pompon-type flowers.
There are other miniature marigolds, from the double dwarf French part of the family, within my idea of how small a small one should be.
‘Brownie Scout’—Golden little flowers with a base flecked with red.
‘Butterball’—Canary-yellow blooms and plenty of them until frost time.
‘Fireball’—A few inches taller than some varieties, but with flame-like markings flashing up through the otherwise orange petals.
‘Gold Laced’—Basically mahogany in color but with each petal edged in gold.
‘Rusty Red’—The brightest of red, extra-large flowers for a small plant.
Nasturtiums
I love this plant so much I hate to leave it out of my listing even though it might be a few inches taller than my other miniatures. I always am careful to plant it toward the rear of flower beds where it will not overpower the smaller plants. There are several dwarfs, but the one I know best is ‘Cherry Rose.’
