Outsidepride Marigold Orange - 2000 Seeds

Tagetes erecta tall, or commonly referred to as African Marigold, is a robust annual that brightens up any landscape setting. This variety, Sierra, is 28 inches in height and produces large, flat pom pom blooms that are vibrant orange. The blooms are very textured with many little frilly petals. This larger variety is perfect for the flower bed or in larger containers. When planted in a mass grouping, the color is magnificent! They make nice cut flowers as well. Marigolds perform from late spring through frost, and with some deadheading, the blooming will continue to be heavy. Start the seeds indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover with soil. Keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 70 - 75F, germination is usually within 20 days. Marigolds can bloom from seed in 8 – 10 weeks. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space the plants 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun and in moist, well-drained soil. Marigolds are usually resistant to deer.
