JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS
- “Outstanding cut flowers, lasted at least 10 days in a vase”
- “I would definitely recommend this variety for both home and commercial cut flower production as a different color of cut flower marigold with long stems.”
- “Cleaner foliage and texture and an overall larger flower size”
- “Developed into a very tall plant, branching low on the plant for a long flower stem.”
- “Brings a new color into cut flower category marigolds.”
- “Deep green foliage and bright golden 3-4″ flowers. Petals stayed clean and flowers kept longer.”
