Sun-warmed and richly aromatic, French marigold ‘Marigold’ blooms with velvety, layered petals that glow in bright, saturated tones and hold their color through heat. The flower’s texture is plush and full, with an upright, tidy habit that makes each bloom feel like a little bouquet in the garden. Ideal for edging and beds, ‘Marigold’ shines as a vivid, long-lasting ornamental—an easy favorite for adding bold, Aster-like charm all season long.
Sowing Tips
Transplant Conditions
Wait until soil reaches 60°F and nights stay above 50°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 7 days first.
Expert Note
Sow lightly (or press seeds into the surface), keep evenly moist until germination, then transplant only after nights are reliably warm for best, nonstop flowering.
