Durango Yellow – Golden-yellow French marigold blooms for summer–monsoon pots

Family

Asteraceae

The Durango variety of Tagetes patula (French Marigolds) is renowned for its stunning, bright yellow flowers and uniformity. With a height of 10-12 inches and a width of 8-10 inches, it is a favored option for its early blooming, heat resistance, and compact size.

Durango sets high standards for anemone-type marigolds, with excellent branching for increased blooms and strong stems. This series consistently produces large, double, and crested bright yellow flowers measuring 2-2.5 inches (5-5.5 cm) in a wide range of beautiful colors. Expect blooms to appear 6-8 weeks after sowing.

Environment

For optimum growth, it is recommended to provide a full day of direct sunlight (at least 6 hours). Use well-drained, fertile loam with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Keep plants 20-25 cm apart to ensure proper air circulation. Water moderately and avoid overwatering. Apply a balanced NPK (such as 10:10:10) or organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.

Landscape

Recommended for use in beds, containers, and mass plantings to enhance your landscape.
