Cheers Tangerine Imp (also known as Calendula Officinalis or Marigold) is an annual flowering plant native to the subtropical Americas. This cultivar developed by Danziger offers resistance to powdery mildew and superior heat and cold tolerance. Its compact mounding habit of 10-14" tall and 13-16" wide makes a vibrant addition to any container, cut flower garden, or cottage garden. Large flowers begin their spring bloom even in cold weather and bring color to the landscape throughout the summer. Marigolds flourish in full sun with moderate water and little other care.

Maintain temperatures between 62-65 degrees during finishing. Spray with B-9 at transplant if needed. If desired, use a Bonzi drench at 2 ppm before hanging to prevent powdery mildew. This cultivar is resistant to powdery mildew. You may see slugs, snails, aphids, or whiteflies.

Planting Cheers Tangerine Imp Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the pot. Apply B-9 at transplant if needed.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
