I planted the petite both yellow and orange just to add some color around the house can someone fill me in on how tall these really get or is "petite" actually talking about the size of the flower?

If they were labeled "petite" they should be 8"-12" nominal height. I say nominal height because marigolds love Florida summers - last year mine that were supposed to be that size ended up making a dense cover 18"-24" high. Even though the marigolds grew bigger than I expected, they were great flowers - disease-free, zero care, healthy green foliage, and constantly in bloom. I didn't realize that bees visit marigolds, but they definitely enjoyed mine last year. I planted some of them along a 10' section of the back fence last year, and I have hundreds of 3"-4" volunteers there now. (Hope they survive the freeze tonight!) I plan to let them take over that space completely. They will provide bee forage and beneficial insect habitat, and be a source of seeds and seedlings so I can plant marigolds in other places for free.
