Marigold - Mission Giant
Much bigger than other marigolds, this variety flowers 3” across, giving it a bushy appearance. Unlike other marigold varieties, these stunning blooms are resistant to poor weather too. The rock-hard acid green eye is so tightly compacted that the water sits on the top rather than soaking into the flower and rotting it. Bright lemon yellow chrysanthemum-like flowers with stunning large 3" double blooms. Flowers start with a bright green eye and then 'puff' out into a full flower. Great for the back of a border or indoors as a cut flower - best with staking.
