About the product
What Marigold African Double Seeds is
African marigold is the bigger, showier relative of the French type - the double blooms come in fuller, rounder heads, which makes this variety the one to reach for when you want a bolder splash of orange and yellow rather than a border filler. It works well as a standalone statement in a large pot or grouped along a terrace wall where the blooms can be seen from a distance.
It follows the same basic routine as most flowering annuals in this range - full sun for 5-6 hours, watering only when the top soil dries out - but asks for a touch more elbow room, 20-30 cm between plants, since the double heads and foliage fill out wider than the French variety. Germination lands in the usual 5-7 days from a shallow 0.5 cm sowing, and the plant reaches its first bloom flush in about 55-70 days. No staking needed, so a heavy bloom head won't mean extra work.

Sowing guide
- Step01
Sow at a shallow depth
Set seeds around 0.5 cm into well-drained soil and keep the tray in a warm spot to start things off.
- Step02
Maintain even soil moisture
Don't let the mix dry out before sprouts appear - a light daily check is enough.
- Step03
Germination in about a week
Expect seedlings in 5-7 days given moist soil and good light.
- Step04
Space out at 20-30 cm and maintain
Thin or transplant to that spacing once seedlings are established, then water regularly so the soil stays evenly moist through the growing period.

Still have a question?
Contact supportAfrican Marigold Double needs full sun, about 5-6 hours of direct light daily, the same as most flowering annuals in this range. Good light helps the double, rounder blooms fill out fully. A large pot or spot along a terrace wall with consistent sun works well.
Set African Marigold Double seeds around 0.5 cm into well-drained soil and keep the tray in a warm spot to start things off. Maintain even soil moisture with a light daily check so the mix doesn't dry out before sprouts appear. This shallow depth is standard for this variety's quick germination.
African Marigold Double germinates in about 5-7 days when the soil stays moist and gets good light. This is the usual germination window for marigolds in this range, quicker than cosmos or dahlia. Expect seedlings within a week under those conditions.
Yes, that's within the normal range, since African Marigold Double typically germinates in 5-7 days. Keep checking the soil moisture daily and make sure the tray stays warm with good light. If nothing has appeared by day seven, give it another day or two before resowing.
African Marigold Double reaches its first bloom flush in about 55-70 days from sowing. It's the bigger, showier relative of French marigold, with fuller, rounder double heads rather than a border-filler look. Expect a bolder splash of orange and yellow once that window arrives.
No, African Marigold Double doesn't need staking, even with its heavier double bloom heads, so you won't have extra support work as it matures. This makes it a fairly hands-off choice for a large pot or terrace planting. Just keep up with sun and watering through its 55-70 day run to bloom.
African Marigold Double needs 20-30 cm between plants, a touch more room than French marigold, since its double heads and foliage fill out wider. This makes it better suited to a standalone statement pot or spaced along a terrace wall rather than a tightly packed window box.
A 1 g pack of African Marigold Double holds about 300 seeds, enough for more than one round of sowing. This gives you room to fill a large pot or resow if an earlier batch doesn't take. The seeds are certified 100% organic, non-GMO, and high germination.
African Marigold Double is the bigger, showier relative of French marigold, with fuller, rounder double blooms rather than a compact border filler. It needs slightly more space, 20-30 cm versus French marigold's tighter spacing, and suits a standalone statement pot or terrace wall rather than a window box.
Yes, the 1 g pack holds around 300 seeds, more than enough to leave some for a later sowing. The seeds are certified 100% organic, non-GMO, and labelled high germination. Keep any unused seeds in a cool, dry, sealed container to help them stay usable for your next round.
