Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Highly recommended by Gina Covina! Our well known and loved local writer and gardener was generous to share her seed of her favorite Marigold. She tells us it comes from the Himalayas, grows 4’-5’ tall, is extremely multi-branching and bears semi-double yellow and dark orange flowers for a very long bloom period. Hers bloomed for 6 months. We can’t wait for it to bloom! Re-seeds!
