Product Details

Seeds per packet: 50

Tolerant of high heat and humidity, Marigold Hot Pak Gold is a dwarf, bushy annual boasting large, double-crested rich mahogany flowers, 1.75 to 2 in. across with golden tips and centers. Blooming from late spring to late summer, the showy blossoms generously cover the finely divided aromatic foliage.

This Marigold remains compact and keeps on flowering without stretching or falling over. The flowers and foliage have a spicy fragrance and have been used to deter insects in the garden. Easy to grow and low maintenance, French marigolds are excellent for beds, patio containers, or as edging plants. Excellent garden performer even in the highest temperatures and humidity.

  • Grows up to 6-7 in. tall and 6-8 in. wide.
  • Performs best in full sun in moderately fertile, dry to moist, well-drained soils. Some light afternoon shade is tolerated in hot summer areas. Adaptable to poor soils, heat, humidity, and especially drought.
  • French Marigolds are excellent additions to the landscape as bedding or edging plants at the front of the border or in containers on the deck or patio. Great companion planting for vegetable or herb gardens.
  • No serious pest or disease issues. Keep an eye out for powdery mildew, Botrytis, leaf spots, rots, spider mites, and thrips. Deer tend to avoid this plant.
  • Pinching off dead blossoms will promote continuous blooming. Blooming might decrease in the heat of summer but will resume once temperatures cool down.
  • Propagate by seed sown at 70°F in spring. Sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has passed or indoors 6-8 weeks prior to the last spring frost date.
