Tagetes MILADY

A compact accent for your garden

The 'Miledi' tagetes from the 'Kapris' farm is a selection choice for those balancing aesthetics with low maintenance. Thanks to its dwarf form (20–30 cm), this variety has become a standard for edging and foreground plantings, where maintaining a clear view is essential without cluttering the landscape.

Agrotechnical features and application

The core value of 'Miledi' lies in its early maturity: the time to flowering is just 45–55 days. This makes the variety indispensable for rapid landscape renovation after the last spring frosts. Large flowers with a diameter of 8–12 cm form a dense “carpet” that covers the soil, effectively suppressing weeds.

• Border planting: Perfect for framing garden paths. Its short stature and resistance to lodging keep garden borders neat throughout the season.
• Container growing: Performs exceptionally well in balcony boxes and pots, as the root system is adapted to limited soil volumes.
• Phytosanitary role: Like all tagetes, 'Miledi' releases phytoncides that repel pests from neighboring vegetable beds, which is why farmers often plant them as a “living shield” around the perimeter of their gardens.

Developed by the 'Kapris' farm (Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Shepelev), this variety is bred for high resilience to temperature fluctuations, which is critical in variable climates. The plant does not require complex pruning or specific fertilizers, showing stable flowering even on moderately fertile soils.
