Description

The African Marigold Garland Orange is a tall, double-flowered plant with long stems, producing bright orange or saffron-colored flowers with large, densely packed petals. Unlike smaller bedding plants, this majestic bloom is a stunning addition to any annual garden and typically blooms from late summer to winter in India.

This variety was specifically bred for use in Hindu ceremonies and festivals, thanks to its vibrant color, pleasant fragrance, and long-lasting nature. Its flexible stems make it ideal for creating garlands and other decorations.

The flowers themselves are massive, reaching sizes of 3½ to 4½ inches and boasting deep orange petals that form a symmetrical pompon. Not only is the Garland Orange flower eye-catching and impressive, but it also has insecticidal properties that help repel pests in vegetable gardens.

Environment

For optimal growth, Marigold Garland Orange Flower Seeds require full sun for 6-8 hours daily and well-drained, fertile loamy soil. While regular watering is necessary, be sure to avoid overwatering as these seeds are drought-tolerant once established.

When sowing in seed trays or nursery beds, bury the seeds 0.5 cm deep and ensure spacing of 30-40 cm between plants.

In order to encourage bushier growth and a higher number of blooms, it is recommended to remove terminal buds after 30 days.

In regions with a warmer climate, Marigold Garland Orange Flower Seeds can be grown year-round with staggered planting.

Make sure your seedling tray or pot (whichever you choose) has a drainage hole in it. If you choose a pot, a 5€ pot should be fine. You can either use well drained soil or make a combination of 1 part each of cocopeat, vermiculite and perlite.

While sowing seeds make sure the soil is damp and not wet. Water the seeds as the soil starts to dry. It should always be moist, but never wet or muddy. Do not water the seeds if the soil is already moist to the touch, as overwatering your plant can be just as harmful as underwatering.

Keep the seedling tray in bright filtered light to begin with. Slowly introduce the plant to morning sun and bring it back in before the afternoon sun sets in. In a weeks time you can put it in direct sunlight.
