Description
Marigold African Double Mix Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
Tagetes erecta is a dazzling annual featuring large, fully double blooms in warm shades of orange, yellow, and gold.
The genus name Tagetes is derived from the Etruscan deity Tages, symbolising beauty and abundance, while erecta refers to its upright growth habit.
Renowned for its vibrant flowers and sturdy stems, this mix adds a bold splash of colour to borders, beds, and containers throughout the summer months.
Reaching a height of 60-80 cm, these marigolds are prized for their heat tolerance and extended flowering period. They also act as natural pest deterrents, making them excellent companions in vegetable gardens.
Their cheerful blooms attract pollinators and bring a touch of sunshine to any outdoor space.
Seed Qty: 100
Sow: February - April (indoors) or May (outdoors)
Germination: 7 - 14 days
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil, neutral to slightly acidic pH
Height: 60 - 80 cm

Companion Plants: Tomatoes, basil, zinnias

Sowing Instructions
For early blooms, sow seeds indoors from February to April. Fill trays or pots with moist, well-drained compost and sow seeds thinly on the surface. Lightly cover with a fine layer of compost. Maintain a temperature of 18-22°C and keep the compost consistently moist. Germination occurs within 7-14 days.
Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off plants gradually by placing them outdoors during the day for a week before planting out after the last frost, spacing them 20-30 cm apart.
For outdoor sowing, sow seeds directly in their final position in May. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and raking to a fine tilth. Sow thinly, cover lightly, and water well. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once established.
Marigold African Double Mix thrives in full sun and requires moderate watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant health.
This robust and vibrant variety is a favourite for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, high-impact flowers. Whether used as a focal point or a companion plant, Marigold African Double Mix brings warmth, vibrancy, and functionality to any garden setting.
