HEIRLOOM. The ultimate American garden flower, prized by the Aztecs a thousand years ago. Even legendary garden designer Gertrude Jekyll liked drifts of tall marigolds planted in the middle or back of her borders, to complement blues and greys. Smaller heirloom marigolds are excellent edging and container plants. The number of colors and flower forms increased greatly in the 20's and 30's, largely thanks to Burpee breeders who were creating plants better suited to our hot, dry summers.

Blossoms 5" and more across, in orange, gold and lemon yellow. 30" plants.
