Description: If you want a strong Marigold then, Taishan is the one for you. In fact the name says it all. It means stability and was named for the Taishan Mountains in China. These dwarf African marigolds have shorter peduncles (the part of the stem directly below the bloom) and thicker stems which make them sturdier. Color is continuous because the secondary blooms come on even when the first blooms still look good.

Height: Grows 10″ to 12″ tall.
How To Grow: Plant in full sun.
Outstanding Features: Stems are super-strong. Provide vibrant color all season long. Featured at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Heat, wind and rain tolerant.
Tips: Remove spent flower heads for continuous flowering.
Uses: Garden Bed, Containers, Borders, Landscapes
