On Gardening: Everyone loves Marmalade

I’ve been a plant trial guy myself for a little over 30 years and I too recognized something special when I first planted Luscious Orange Marmalade in the spring of 2019. The first thing I noticed was the size of the blooms. They are huge, the size of golf balls.

While you may see hints of yellow these flowers scream orange. The tag says perennial in zone 9 and warmer, but I still have my original planting now in its seventh year. They will reach 24 to 30 inches tall and wide.



I have never seen a single seed on one though there are a half dozen other varieties in the landscape. The University of Florida has certified it sterile. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.
