Marigold Seeds
Marigold · 5g seed pack
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.
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.
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.
A French marigold from IIHR with fiery orange-red heads on a compact bush. Neat enough for a border edge and free-flowering in pots.
