Tagetes ‘Sugar & Spice White’ is an unusual African marigold producing large, fully double flowers in soft ivory and creamy white. The beautifully ruffled blooms are carried above finely divided green foliage, creating a fresh and elegant alternative to traditional orange and yellow marigolds.
Easy to grow and wonderfully free-flowering, this reliable annual blooms throughout summer and into early autumn. Its strong stems and softly coloured flowers make it an excellent choice for cutting gardens, cottage borders, containers and relaxed floral arrangements. Grow in full sun and deadhead regularly to encourage a continuous display.
When to Sow: Mar - May HOW TO SOW MARIGOLDS:
