Marigold · 100 seeds seed pack
A dwarf African marigold with unusually large heads for its height. Bred to hold flower size in warm conditions rather than running to leaf.
Same flower
An African marigold released by IARI and still the benchmark for loose-flower growers. Carries large, tightly double orange heads on strong upright stems that stand up to picking round after round.
The yellow counterpart to Pusa Narangi, bred at IARI for the same heavy loose-flower yield. Even flowering makes it easy to harvest in batches for the festival market.
An IIHR African marigold selected for a high carotenoid content, which makes it a favourite where flowers are sold by weight rather than by stem.
A later IIHR release with a tighter flowering window than the original Bangara, so the crop can be cleared in fewer pickings.
