African Marigold Seeds – Tall Cut Flower Variety
.15 ounces (see photo of what that looks like)
Grow big, bold blooms that were made for bouquets. These African marigolds are the tall variety, nothing like the short, bushy bedding types. They produce strong stems topped with large, fluffy flowers in rich shades of golden yellow and vibrant orange.
Perfect for cutting, these blooms hold up beautifully in arrangements and add that classic cottage garden charm. They also make excellent dried flowers, holding their color beautifully long after harvest.
If you’re not a fan of the traditional marigold scent, here’s a simple trick: just strip the leaves from the stems. The flowers themselves have little to no scent, so you get all the beauty without the smell.
Planting Tips:
- Plant after your last frost
- Direct sow seeds shallow and lightly cover with soil
- Water gently and keep soil moist until germination
- Blooms will keep going strong all the way until fall’s first frost
Easy to grow, heat-loving, and incredibly rewarding, these are a must-have for any cut flower garden.
