2019 AAS Flower Winner

Sometimes, it’s an AAS judge who writes the best description: “Favorite performer of the trial! This marigold not only has a strong color but while the comparison is brown and rotting [in late summer], this entry is going strong through the end of September! … it is much more resistant to disease than the comparison. Also, the vigorous habit is exactly what you would want from a cut flower for season-long flowers.”

This marigold provides a bright regal shade of orange in an extremely vigorous, cut flower type marigold. In the garden, it had cleaner foliage and overall larger flower size. In the vase, it is outstanding, lasting at least 10 days.
