Marigold - Calendula officinalis 'Ivory Princess'

The 'Ivory Princess' marigolds impress with their delicate, cream-colored blooms, which range in color from almost white to cream to yellow. They form long, sturdy stems, making them ideal for cut flower cultivation. The annual marigold is an ancient medicinal plant that is very easy to cultivate. Once in the garden, it reliably self-seeds and provides insects with abundant food from June until frost.
