Cultivar Notes -
First Lady
This standard for taller African marigolds makes outstanding mass plantings. Lady produces very strong stems and a neat, tidy habit. An abundance of fully double, 3" blooms are held well above the foliage.
Species Notes -
Tagetes erecta
Commonly called African marigold, Aztec marigold, American marigold or big marigold, they are actually native to Mexico and Central America. Big marigold may be the best descriptive name because plants are noted for their large flowerheads. They typically grow from 1-4’ tall and feature huge, mostly double-globular flowers (2-4” diameter) in various shades of yellow, orange, and creamy white. Pinnate leaves on glabrous, angular stems. Foliage and flowers are aromatic when brushed or crushed.
