This marigold seed variety is ideal for edging, borders, and hanging baskets. The colours, ranging from rusty reds and oranges to the brightest yellows, our dwarf double-mixed marigold seeds will give a superb display in your flower garden throughout the summer. An annual flowering the same year, these pollinator-attracting flowers are perfect for livening up your garden space and make a perfect companion plant to ward off pests much like other Marigold varieties. Dwarf double mixed marigolds prefer a sunny position in the garden, allowing the bright sunny colours to bloom.

How to Sow Seeds

Spacing: 25-30cm
Growing notes: Sow 5mm (1/4 in) deep in flowering position. Autumn sowings are possible in frost-free areas. Keep moist. Space plants 25-30cm (10-12 in) apart, thinning as necessary. Use garden mulch to keep roots cool in warm weather (and keep weeds down). Feed with liquid fertiliser when buds appear.
