These were perhaps some of the uglier marigolds I have seen. Very tall, lanky plants that fell over and had branches break off. The flowers were small and an unpleasant yellowish white color. Bloom was very sparse, and very late. The foliage was light green and not nearly as nice as other marigolds I've grown. For white flowers, I much preferred 'Sweet Cream' personally.
