Corn Marigold 'Eastern Star'

Corn Marigold 'Eastern Star'

Product number: 513660
Origin: Europe
Latin: Chrysanthemum segetum, or also Glebionis segetum

It's nice that this old-fashioned corn marigold is reappearing in many colors. What do you think of this one: light moon-yellow petals with a buttercup-yellow rim around the almost black flower heart. The height (70 cm) makes this finely-leaved flower particularly suitable for an old-fashioned country bouquet.

Corn marigolds grow easily and add a colorful and festive touch to the garden and vase. Before sowing, stick some pruned wood into the ground for support.
