Product Description

French Marigold

Sparky Mixed

(Tagetes Patula Nana Double)

Packet Contents: approx 1080 seeds

This variety is a dwarf bushy plant with double flowers in red, yellow and gold shades. Marigolds are a great companion plant as they deter plant pests. This variety will grow up to 30 cm and is great for small spaces such as containers, raised beds, or borders. Their short height won’t shade out other plants either. The flowers will attract butterflies and bees to your garden

Sowing: The seeds can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the end of the frost season. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger containers. Plant out once all danger of frost has passed. Alternatively, they can be sown out in late spring direct in flowering position.

Flowers: June to October

Standard EU seed for the hobby gardener, packed in the UK.

Country of origin: Holland

Tip: Marigolds prefer full sun and moderate watering
