Marigold African Marvel Mix F1
A bold, high-impact blend of marigolds producing large, fully double blooms in rich shades of gold, orange, and warm bronze. These strong, upright plants are ideal for adding height and structure to summer borders, cutting gardens, and large containers.
 
Well known for their role in companion planting, African marigolds are widely grown alongside vegetables to support healthy growing spaces, particularly in mixed beds and kitchen gardens. Exceptionally heat-tolerant and reliable, they thrive in full sun and flower from early summer through to the first frosts.
 
Easy to grow from seed and well suited to UK gardens delivering long-lasting colour, garden resilience, and practical value in both ornamental and productive plots.
 
When to Sow: Mar - May
 
HOW TO SOW MARIGOLDS:
Sow into trays or modules filled with fine, free-draining compost. Place seeds on the surface and cover lightly with compost or vermiculite. Water gently and keep warm — 18–22 °C is ideal.
Seedlings usually appear within 7–14 days. Once large enough to handle, prick out or pot on carefully. Harden off well before planting outside after the last frost.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK flower farms
