Durango Bolero – Bold bicolour French marigold blooms for summer–monsoon beds
Family
Asteraceae
Durango Bolero is a top-performing variety in the Durango series of Tagetes patula (French Marigold), known for its stunning bi-colored flowers. Its vibrant golden-yellow petals with deep mahogany splashes create an eye-catching contrast. This cultivar is prized for its early and long-lasting blooms, as well as its compact growth of around 10-12 inches in height and 8-10 inches in spread.
Durango sets high standards for anemone-type marigolds, with excellent branching for increased blooms and strong stems. This series consistently produces large, double, and crested flowers measuring 2-2.5 inches (5-5.5 cm) in a wide range of beautiful colors. Expect blooms to appear 6-8 weeks after sowing.
Environment
For optimum growth, it is recommended to provide a full day of direct sunlight (at least 6 hours). Use well-drained, fertile loam with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Keep plants 20-25 cm apart to ensure proper air circulation. Water moderately and avoid overwatering. Apply a balanced NPK (such as 10:10:10) or organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
