Annual Marigold Seeds - Flower Plant

Annual marigold seeds produce warm-season flowering plants with a compact to bushy growth habit and finely divided foliage. These plants develop abundant blooms over an extended period and are well suited to warm climates with a frost-free growing season. Annual marigolds perform best in full sunlight with well-drained soil and moderate, consistent moisture. Suitable for garden beds, borders, edging, containers, and landscape planting, they establish quickly and provide vibrant, long-lasting seasonal color.
