Strawberry Blonde’ from PanAmerican Seed is a highly innovative and unique F1 hybrid French Marigold variety, celebrated as an All-America Selections (AAS) winner for its outstanding garden performance and novel color. It is the first French marigold to offer soft, blendable colors rather than the typical harsh reds and yellows.
The plant forms a compact, uniform, mounded growth habit, reaching approximately 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) in height and spread. It produces abundant, durable, semi-double crested flowers. The color palette is truly unique, featuring a lovely mix of non-traditional marigold shades, including soft pinkish-orange, warm yellow, and light gold, often with blooms displaying transitional colors simultaneously. ‘Strawberry Blonde’ is heat-tolerant, easy to grow, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for adding sophisticated, non-traditional color to mass plantings, garden borders, and patio containers from spring until the first frost.
