You Should Grow This: ‘Big Duck’ marigolds

This is the second year I’ve grown ‘Big Duck Yellow’ marigolds from seeds. There’s two other cultivars in the series that are just as prolific. These big marigolds will bloom just about anywhere. I’ve got them planted in containers, and they are not getting nearly the sun they would want.

I can’t imagine what they would do out in full sun. This series of plants are All-America Selections. Anything with an AAS certification means they have been judged blindly from growers all over the country. I grow lots of AAS winners, they have never let me down.
