French Marigold Primo Orange Dwarf Flower Seeds

Estimated seeds: 40 per pack 

French Marigold Primo Orange Dwarf is an old, popular variety. These compact plants produce abundant double, ruffled orange blooms with a bright, warm tone. They're perfect for borders, edging, pots and winter beds — low-maintenance, fast to flower and ideal for adding bold colour to beds or containers.

Sow indoors in February/March at 18–24 °C in trays. Prick out the seedlings after three to six weeks. At the end of April, the plants can be transplanted into a greenhouse or under plastic. After mid-May, you can also plant them outdoors in a sunny, wind-protected spot. Flowering typically begins about 8–12 weeks after sowing and continues for months with regular deadheading (spring sowing flowers March–June; autumn sowing flowers November–February in milder areas).
