Hawaiʻi Marigold Seeds

$6.99

Packet

Marigolds are an excellent choice for containers or borders in the garden, growing up to 2' in height. They are drought tolerant once established and will bloom for an extra long season. Flowers' petals are edible and make a gorgeous addition to fresh garden salads. Try feeding flowers to chickens to encourage a bright orange yolk.

The Hawaii marigold is a French type, renowned for its ability to support the garden as a natural form of pest control. This variety is known to exude a potent substance called thiophene through its roots and leaves. Thiophene is not a friend to the root-knot nematode (a recurring pest in Hawaiian soils) which tend to move away from marigold roots.

Planting: Start in the nursery, and only very lightly cover seeds for good germination. Seeds will sprout within 7-10 days, keep moist and transplant into the garden within 2-4 weeks.

Cultivation:
Depth: Surface, lightly covered
Spacing: 12-18""
Full Sun to Partial Shade
Days to Maturity: 50 days
Open Pollinated
30 seeds per packet


Grown in Hawaiʻi

Hawaiʻi Seed Growers Network

The Hawaiʻi Seed Growers Network is a statewide group of artisanal farmers that have worked together over the past 13 years to develop and grow high-quality, locally grown, and adapted seed varieties for Hawai‘i's home gardeners and market farmers. Varieties selected for their online marketplace have been tested for multiple years by seed growers on their farms and gardens under Hawai‘i's unique and diverse, subtropical climatic conditions. Seed growers carefully observe, hand select, and harvest from only the best plants to ensure well-adapted, healthy seeds sprout and grow well in your home garden. All seeds are open-pollinated (OP) varieties that allow you to begin saving your own seed, improving and strengthening these varieties in your home garden. Seeds are properly dried, tested for germination according to USDA standards, and carefully stored to ensure viability at N. Kohala Seed Bank, Nahelehele. Growing tips and seed-saving information are available on the Hawaiʻi Seed Growers Network website through the Blogs and Resource pages at: hawaiiseedgrowersnetwork.com.

Packets are made of paper and need to stay dry and in cool, dark storage.
Store in a cool, dry place with no moisture or the seeds will sprout!
