Know before you buy
These are triploid hybrid marigolds, which means they are bred to be sterile. Because they do not set seed, the plant puts all its energy into continuous blooming rather than reproduction, resulting in a longer-lasting floral display.
They are specifically bred for high heat and rain tolerance. Unlike some delicate annuals, these plants maintain their structure and bloom quality even during heavy summer storms or intense heat waves.
Yes, their compact, uniform habit makes them an excellent choice for pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets. They grow to a height and spread of 12–16 inches, fitting perfectly into smaller spaces.
For the best germination results, keep your soil temperature between 70–75°F. Once the seedlings are established, they prefer daytime temperatures of 65–70°F and nighttime temperatures of 60–65°F.
No, deadheading is not required. Because these are sterile hybrids that do not set seed, they will continue to produce new flowers throughout the season without the need for manual pruning.
