Marigold Big Duck Yellow F1

2019 AAS Flower Winner

A long-lasting winner in the trial gardens! Big Duck Yellow is another marigold color in the series that has great heat and disease tolerance. The large 4” flowers are well-supported on sturdy, compact, uniformly even plants that consistently produced more flowers for a longer period than the comparisons. The fully double, bright yellow blooms are a beautiful contrast to the deep green foliage and raise their heads well above the foliage for a standout display. Big Duck Yellow marigolds are a beautiful addition to any landscape, garden or container where long-lasting color is a benefit.

  1. Jeni Cullen, Eden Park, Cincinnati, OH – 12/17/2020

    I LOVE THIS PLANT!! I have used this in my display garden the past couple years and it is a favorite for visitors. The flowers are huge, the stems sturdy, and the new flowers grow up past the old ones so deadheading is minimal. This plant makes a statement from a distance all summer and fall.
