Outsidepride Marigold White - 1000 Seeds

Tagetes erecta nana, or also referred to as Marigold is a showy annual that is one of the most popular for planting in flower borders, edging the vegetable garden, and in window boxes and all sorts of containers. This variety, Kilimanjaro, is a stately creamy white color that is distinct from the typical Marigold colors. The blooms are 3 inches across and grow on plants that reach 18 inches in height. To promote continuous blooming all summer long, Marigolds benefit from having the spent blooms deadheaded. Grow Marigolds in full sun and they will nearly glow all summer long! In spring, start the seed indoors 6 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the seed into the soil, lightly cover it, and keep it moist. With a temperature range of 70 - 75F, germination is normally within 21 days. Space the plants 9 - 12 inches apart. After danger of frost has passed, Marigold seed can be started directly outdoors. They will bloom about 8 – 10 weeks after planting the seeds.
