African Marigold Taishan H
Botanical Name: Tagetes erecta
Type: Half-Hardy Annual

African Marigold Taishan H is a premium, compact African marigold known for its large, fully double blooms in rich shades of gold, yellow, and orange. Unlike traditional tall varieties, Taishan H has a strong, sturdy habit that resists flopping – even in bad weather. It flowers continuously from early summer to autumn, making it a standout choice for impactful displays in beds, borders, and containers.
