Tagetes erecta Taishan® Yellow
Taishan® is the best Tagetes for landscaping: - 20% shorter stems and 15% thicker stems ensure less stretching and breakage. Large, full flowers on super-strong stems look great at retail. Less waste, better resistance to overhead irrigation, and a longer shelf life. Better branching with strong side branches fills containers faster and provides a healthy appearance. Larger flowers maintain their doubleness and shed water well. Its performance is so spectacular that Taishan was featured in large-scale plantings at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
