Marigold Big Duck Orange F1

2019 AAS Flower Winner

Big Duck Orange joins sibling Big Duck Gold in a new marigold series that continues blooming throughout the season, even longer than the comparisons. These marigolds grow vigorously creating well-branched plants with clean, deep-green foliage. Fully double and beautifully colored 4-inch orange blooms “pop” on the 15” plants and continue blooming through the end of the season. The judges raved about this variety’s vigor, flower size and superior disease, rain, heat and drought resistance long past when the comparisons succumbed. This beauty is perfect for the gardener looking for an easy-to-grow, low maintenance annual.

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “In the ground, plants of the entry grew larger than comparisons, providing better bed coverage, thus not showing bare ground between individual plants.”
  • “Would be nice in a mass planting or as a back border in a bed. Creates a hedge.”
  • “Vigor was exceptional and flowers were long lasting”
  • “When our Aug-Sept drought hit it was the only marigold not to turn completely black. It had larger flowers and had better branching habits”
  • “This variety has very good heat and rain tolerance”
