White Swan

Flower

Tagetes erecta

Overview
2-3" cream to pale yellow-colored, fully double, uniform blooms borne on productive, sturdy, uniform plants. High-quality blooms produce a mild, sweet, marshmallow fragrance, without the typical strong marigold scent. More compact plants than those from the Giant and Coco™ series. White Swan is significantly taller and higher quality than all other cream-colored marigolds in our trials. Also known as African marigold, American marigold, and Aztec marigold. Edible Flowers: Use the flowers to dress up salads and desserts or cooked in egg or rice dishes. Flavor is floral with hints of citrus and spice, and slightly bitter. Remove the petals from the flower base before consuming as the base can be quite bitter.
Planting
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after last frost
