Tahir Inca is my favorite but Whites compliment nicely with other colors.African marigolds have very limited colors.so at least white increase the color range.next year Inshallah i,l plant it in a separate bed along Incas to create sharp contrast.
Irfan whites are not my favorites but at least i appreciate the breeder to give us a new color in such a flower which color range is very limited.Golds are very important for me at least,they add color to garden when there is no other annual in flower in true sense.the only other annual is cocks comb which is in flower along golds these days.

true incas flower profusely and they can be planted very early but the whites brings out something special to the marigolds plus you dont see then very often is it possible to cross breed golds with whites??

Whites reverts back to parents as its an F-1 hybrid.the parents are same oranges & yellows so whites convert the color.they flower very profusely if fed well but the their flower size is small than Inca.their actual flower size is about of that of Discovery.
