Marigold ‘Inca II Gold’

Marigold ‘Inca II Gold’—plants are crowded with flowers

Normally we don’t comment on series improvements, since they usually focus on under-the-hood concerns like disease resistance or production-friendly issues. Instead we just switch to the better version. This is how breeders upgrade their cultivars over time and keep in step with rival series or suppliers.

Big ball-shaped blooms are visibly more double

In the case of the Inca II series we’re making an exception. ‘Inca II Gold’ is significantly different from its prior version. Very large 3 to 4-inch flowers now have a much stronger stem for support so they don’t bend at the neck as much. Plants are crowded with ball-shaped blooms that are visibly more double than they were before—so they repel water drops even better than the original flowers.

We’re growing Marigold ‘Inca II Gold’ in the 6-inch pot.
