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”
