Marigold Flowering Plant Seeds - Easy to Grow for Spring Gardens, Whopper Mix, Pack of 25

The new standard for large Marigolds has arrived, and its name is Whopper! Available exclusively from Park, this sturdy and long-blooming Marigold boasts fully double blooms that are a mind-boggling 4 inches across. Not since the now-discontinued old Inca have blooms of this size been available, and Park's Whopper holds its double flower form throughout the entire season, unlike many short-lived giants.

These bright yellow, gold, and orange flowers are simply bursting with short, quilled petals that are so symmetrical and beautifully rounded that they scarcely look real! A closely-spaced planting of Park's Whopper is a true delight, as the plants bloom so abundantly that they create a solid wall of flowers, with no foliage or ground visible in between.

Unlike some high-maintenance Marigolds that only produce a few magnificent blooms before resting on their laurels, Park's Whopper is a terrific garden plant that reaches 18 inches tall and 12 inches wide, blooming just as freely as its smaller cousins all summer long. You may occasionally encounter a few blooms that are 3 3/4 inches instead of the full 4 inches, but that's a problem most gardeners would be delighted to have.

Moreover, this Marigold is tolerant of Botrytis, a scourge that affects many Marigold varieties, so you can expect healthy plants all season long. With its compact, free-blooming habit and extra-sturdy stems that won't snap in the first rainfall or summer storm, Park's Whopper is ideal for growing in sunny beds, borders, edgings, or containers of all types.

Grown easily from the detailed seed provided, Park's Whopper delivers fast results. And if you're captivated by this mix, be sure to try the separate color options of yellow, orange, and gold as well. Each pack contains 25 seeds.
