Know before you buy
These Marigold Alumia Vanilla Cream seeds are raw and untreated, meaning they have not been coated or chemically treated.
These are excellent for both. Their uniform, branching habit makes them well-suited for containers, window boxes, and traditional garden beds.
For best results, maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F. When planting, lightly cover the seeds with soil, as they require some light exposure to germinate effectively.
You can expect to see germination within 5 to 8 days, provided the soil temperature is kept within the recommended range.
Since these plants have a spread of 10 to 14 inches, you should space them accordingly to ensure they have enough room to develop their strong, branching stems.
Marigold Alumia Vanilla Cream is an annual, meaning it will complete its life cycle in one growing season. They are best planted after the last frost once the soil has warmed.
