Marigold Spun Orange Seeds
We love the huge million-petaled blooms of these Marigolds, such a surprising shape!
Marigolds are used in sacred ceremonies the world round, found on alters from Mexico to India. If their holy lineage isn't enough to encourage you to tuck a few of these plants into your garden, Marigolds are also edible (you can eat the blossoms and the ferny foliage), they are natural pest deterrents, and they make a gorgeous orange dye.
Includes 25 seeds.

Growing Info
Stick in the dirt 1/4" deep, 2" apart. Water gently & regularly as seedlings emerge over the next 2 weeks. Once babies are 2” tall, pluck so there's just one per 12" | |
Find a place that gets mostly sun, good soil is not important to this one | |
Directly into the garden after the threat of frost has passed, or start inside 6 weeks earlier | |
All summer! | |
Water regularly during dry spells, and pick the flowers regularly (Bring the flowers in! Make bouquets! Have fun!) to encourage more blooms | |
Marigolds help keep bad bugs away with their scent - plant amongst your other flowers to protect them |
