Tagetes patula nana 'Strawberry Blonde' is a revolutionary introduction to the world of marigolds. This special French Tagetes distinguishes itself with an unprecedented color combination and a dynamic color gradient that constantly changes during the flowering period. Whereas traditional marigolds usually have a single fixed flower color, Strawberry Blonde produces a fascinating color palette of soft yellow, gold, apricot, pink, copper, and strawberry shades on one and the same plant.
Together with its sister selection Fireball, Strawberry Blonde belongs to the so-called “New World Marigolds”. This groundbreaking genetic development introduces traits never before seen in both African and French Marigolds. The result is a completely new appearance that perfectly aligns with modern garden trends and premium plant concepts.
The most striking feature of Tagetes patula nana 'Strawberry Blonde' is the unique way the flowers change color during their development. Young flowers often open in warm yellow or golden yellow shades and subsequently develop subtle gradations of apricot, salmon pink, copper, and strawberry red.
This creates a unique effect where a single plant bears flowers in different colors simultaneously. This ensures a vibrant and natural appearance that constantly changes throughout the season.
Moreover, the color intensity is influenced by weather conditions:
No two plants look exactly the same, which makes Strawberry Blonde a real eye-catcher.
This French Tagetes forms compact, well-branched plants with a height of approximately 20 to 30 cm. Thanks to its bushy growth habit, the plants produce an abundance of flowers throughout the season that cover virtually the entire foliage.
Due to its compact shape, Strawberry Blonde is particularly suitable for:
The uniform growth ensures a professional appearance in both residential and commercial applications.
Tagetes patula nana 'Strawberry Blonde' has been specially developed for high-quality presentations in garden centers and specialized nurseries. The unique flower colors immediately attract the attention of consumers and clearly distinguish themselves from traditional yellow and orange marigolds.
Thanks to the constantly changing color palette, this variety offers long-lasting visual appeal. Strawberry Blonde remains a striking sight in both premium packs and larger decorative pots.
Moreover, cultivation is efficient:
This makes this variety attractive to both professional growers and garden enthusiasts.
Like other French Tagetes varieties, Strawberry Blonde is easy to grow and very low-maintenance. The plant grows best in a sunny location in well-draining soil. Regular watering during dry periods encourages continuous flowering.
Removing spent flowers promotes the formation of new flower buds, allowing the plant to continue blooming for months, from late spring well into autumn.
In addition, the plant attracts pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies, thereby making a valuable contribution to a vibrant and biodiverse garden.
With its constantly changing colour palette, abundant flowering, and compact growth, Tagetes patula nana 'Strawberry Blonde' offers a completely new experience of the classic marigold. This innovative variety brings together warmth, surprise, and elegance, making it a unique addition to any summer garden.
