Yellow Supreme Marigold

Yellow Supreme Marigold (Tagetes erecta) - An AAS Gold medal winner Bred by Hurst & Son in 1935. This is a tall attractive African marigold with deep golden ruffled flowers that will bloom through summer until the first frost. My grandmother Katie Guryn always had these intercropped with her tomatoes and cucumbers. Hard for any rambling bumble bee to pass by these large 4-5 inch blooms. A great choice to attract pollinators to your vegetable garden or simply enjoy in your flower garden.
