Tagetes erectus

Sunshine for your garden! These tall African Marigolds put on a fabulous show of colour with brilliant yellows and deep oranges. The colourful petals are edible and can be used to brighten up salads, as a garnish or as a splash of colour in a cold drink on a hot summer's day.

Marigolds are also well-known for their ability to attract pests away from your edible crops and are a good companion for most plants. They are a fantastic pollinator attractor as well, bringing bees and other beneficial insects to your garden. Giant Marigolds are a lovely tall variety, growing up to 75cm tall.

Sow seeds directly once soil temperatures reach 24 deg C, or sow early in seedling trays on a  Germination Heating pad and plant out when all danger of frost is past.

Standard Packet contains approx. 100 seeds
