Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to find out performance of different varieties of (T. Patula for growth, yield and flower characters. The materials utilized for the study consisted of French marigold (Tagetes patula) varieties namely, Dainty Marieta, Boy-O-Boy, Gulzafri Orange, Gulzafri Yellow, Bolero Red, Queen Sohpia, Pusa Arpita, Orange Winner, Red Brocade, F/R-8 and F/R-2. The performance of different varieties for vegetative, flowering quality and yield characters showed significant differences. Plant height was recorded maximum in Pusa Arpita. Among the eleven varieties F/R-2 were recorded maximum for plant spread, primary branches, stem girth, leaf length, number of flower per plant, flower yield per plant, flower diameter, fresh weight per flower, duration of flower harvest index and flower longevity on the plant. Whereas, Red Brocade was observed maximum in number of flower thus, these varieties can be recommended for commercial loose flower production.
