African marigold "Taishan" F1 (mix)
African marigold ''Taishan'' F1 (mix) - Aztec marigold.
And again, nature amazes us with its ingenuity and gives new marigolds an amazing shape and color...
"Taishan" is generous in flowering and will appear before you in all its glory in early June. Height 25-30 cm. Diameter 9-12 cm.
The flowers have an incredible aroma and do not lose their decorative value for more than three weeks. Thanks to its resistance to bad weather, the bush holds its shape well and deserves a central place in the garden.
"Taishan" is an excellent helper in filling the gaps between neighbouring plants.
Sowing: end of May in open ground to a depth of 1.5-2 cm (to speed up flowering - for seedlings in April). The seedlings are thinned out, maintaining a distance between plants of 15-20 cm. The seedlings are planted in open ground when the threat of frost has passed. The distance between plants is 20-25 cm.
Care: one of the most unpretentious crops to care for. They prefer open sunny places but also grow in partial shade. Undemanding to soil and moisture. For good growth and flowering, young plants need to be watered and fed (two or three feedings with an interval of 7-10 days). When the marigolds grow, watering should be stopped, but fertilizing should continue (with an interval of 10-14 days).
Flowering: from June to frost. To prolong flowering, it is necessary to remove faded flowers.

Marigolds are especially relevant if:
* The site is young, land reclamation measures have not been taken, fertile soil has not been brought in or the soil has been depleted.
* The place is completely open and it is difficult for other flowers to grow under the constantly scorching rays of the sun.
* Strong winds blow through the area.
* You do not have the opportunity to regularly water the plants, loosen the soil, which is covered with a thick crust, or fertilize it.
