Marigold, Pesche’s Gold

Tagates erecta (80-90 days)

Named after Howard Shapiro’s (who was involved in the early days of Seeds of Change) grandmother, Pesche’s Gold makes tall, impressive plants.  These 6-8’ marigolds overflow with blooms all season.  Bright and striking mixtures of golden yellow and orange yellow semi- to fully- double flowers have simple but elegantly crisped petals fringed with ruffles.  This, along with other marigolds, are a great addition to the textile dye garden and yields a yellow dye, with or without mordant.  FLA.
