A unique orange-pink blend, a patterned cultivar with a double edge, Mighty Marigold draws many comments from our garden visitors. Dark veining extends from the eye onto the petals, their heavy substance sprinkled with a slight diamond dusting.

This is yet another multiflorous bloomer among our 2010 introductions whose initial blooms and some reblooms measure up to 6.75" but whose overall bloom size is 5.75". Strongly recurrent, Mighty Marigold will sometimes double on its third or fourth set of scapes.

This cultivar's name derives from some gorgeous orange-pink Marigolds, the seeds of which were hybridized by a student at the University of Mexico and were passed on to us by the greenhouse manager of a VA Hospital.
