Inca II has taken the gardening world by storm, and we are pleased to announce that we have separate colors from the popular mix. If you haven't tried this brilliantly colored, early-blooming, rough-and-ready Marigold, you're in for a treat!
So different from the old Inca that it might as well be a new variety altogether, Inca II is a brilliantly colored, early-blooming, fully double marigold with strong stems on compact plants. If you are looking for a reliable garden performer, this is the marigold for you! These blooms reach 3 to 3½ inches across, with a fully double form that keeps its petal-packed beauty all season long. And the plants aren't quite as tall as the old Inca, giving them better weather resistance and staying power in the garden, with slightly smaller blooms. (For the largest marigold blooms, see Park's Whopper Mix.) But the compact plant sizejust 12 to 13 inches tall and 10 inches acrosslets you really pack them in, and the flowers are long lasting, ultra-colorful, and freely borne. If you like this yellow, do try gold, orange, and primrose as well).
Best of all, Inca II buys you an additional week or more of bloomtimeno small feat in short-season climates. Best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, it blooms all summer. We sell detailed seed for best results.
Pkt of 25 seeds
Vigorous and floriferous summer-flowering plants to be used as filler in borders and containers, as bedding and edging, and for cut flowers. The green foliage is smooth textured, deeply cut in a fern-like manner, and pungent. Tagetes erecta, African Marigold, grows 3 feet tall with 2-5 inch, carnation-like, double-petaled, yellow-orange flower heads. Tagetes patula, French Marigold, is lower growing from 6-24 inches tall with 11/2-2 inch, single- or double-petaled flowers that are yellow or orange and often marked with red. Tagetes filifolia, Irish Lace, grows 6-12 inches tall with tiny, white flowers and foliage that is even more finely cut than the above two species

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
