  • Meet the “New World marigolds” – Fireball and companion Strawberry Blonde introduce germplasm never seen before in African or French marigolds that puts multicolour blooms on the same plant. 
  • Completely new look for premium packs, pots and decorative containers. 
  • In early Spring growing conditions, flowers age and change colour more slowly for maximum contrast. In warmer conditions, colour changes faster with less distinct contrast.
