Taishan Yellow African Marigold is a compact annual with a dense mounding habit and aromatic, deep green basal foliage. Extra large blooms of fragrant sunny yellow double flowers bloom on branching stems from through summer into fall. Grows best in full sun and evenly moist well-drained soils. Naturally repels insects and soil nematodes. The Taishan series has sturdy stems that support the weight of their blooms.
