Description
We finally have added a unique white marigold; this variety
has lovely 2” creamy-white blooms that really stand out in
a crowd. White marigolds were long in the making; in fact,
Burpee Seed Company spent 56 years of searching and breeding
before finding success. After years of trying, David Burpee
offered $10,000 to the first home gardener who sent in the
right seeds to help make a real white variety; thousands of
gardeners responded for years. One lady, Alice Vonk of Sully,
Iowa, sent seeds for 21 years, and in 1975, Burpee awarded her
the coveted prize for her work—after the company had spent
56 years and $250,000 testing during the contest years. Now
there are several white varieties, including this beauty.
