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.

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.

A compact French marigold carrying honey-gold double heads in heavy flushes. Holds its shape without staking through the winter season.

An F1 African marigold bred for landscape uniformity. Large fully double heads sit on a short, self-supporting plant, so a bed comes into colour all at once.

The yellow Inca, matched to Inca Orange in height and timing so the two can be block-planted together without one running ahead.

An early F1 French marigold with crested double heads on a dwarf frame. Quick to colour, which suits balcony boxes and short-turn nursery pots.

A dwarf African marigold with unusually large heads for its height. Bred to hold flower size in warm conditions rather than running to leaf.
