Plant breeders have managed to create a world-first, creamy-white English marigold! Even more interesting is the seeming colour change of the flowers – petals have a yellow underside while in bud. As the flowers open the vreamy-white topside is revealed, surrounding a large brown or yellow central eye. Each luxurious, semi-double flower reaches 7.5cm (3in) across. Scatter the seeds as an easy gap filler or create large swathes by covering whole beds or borders with seed. Enjoy flowers in as little 10 weeks from sowing.
