I've loved the burst of orange in late summer/early fall that marigolds bring. Their scent fills the garden and I love to use the blooms to dress up dishes I serve. I was excited to grow this variety with it's pale yellow blooms. Johnny's notes they have a mild, sweet, marshmallow fragrance, and should expect high bloom yields.

First purchased in November 2025 for the 2026 growing season.
