‘Kilimanjaro White’ is a white marigold that debuted in 1975 after 21 years of horticultural development. An awe-inspiring color in the world of marigolds, these 2.5″ vanilla-white blossoms make a fabulous contrast in any garden and cut-flower arrangement. They have a lovely, sweet scent different from other marigolds. Marigolds attract butterflies and are fairly drought tolerant. Plants grow up to 18″ tall and produce flowers that bloom from summer to frost, although they may take a break in extreme heat. Prefers full sun exposure.
