These are beautiful, hardy, clumping, tall Marigold flowers in varying shades of orange, red-orange and yellow-orange. The flowers will grow up to 14 inches tall and will spill over your container. They will bloom all Summer and late into Fall. These blooms are drought-resistant and will help keep many pests away from your garden including flies, gnats, squirrels, groundhogs, mosquitoes, squash bugs, tomato worms, and nematodes. Also, marigolds are great for the bee and butterfly population! Untreated (no fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, etc.)

Harvested by hand from my organic garden - you may find some tiny bits of flower parts mixed in but I'll always include extra seeds to compensate
Seed starting suggestions:
Plant seeds in Spring after last frost (seeds need full light and warm temps)
Space seeds 6"-8" apart, lightly cover with soil mix, keep moist until germination (7-14 days)
40-65 days to bloom - remove dead flowers to encourage more blooms
my tricks:
always store seeds in paper container to avoid mold
cover seeds with screening while germinating so birds/pests will not eat them
