Kee's Orange Marigold

The brightest orange marigolds we have seen! This massive and magnificent marigold was selected by the late, Kees Sahin, a famous Dutch flower breeder. Sahin had set out to select the most vivid orange color to make a truly memorable marigold, the result is a high octane tangerine bloom that really pops! The robust and productive plants stand 1.5-2 feet tall and are smothered in full and fluffy electric orange blooms, each reaching an impressive 2.5 to 3 inches across.
