Strawberry Blonde Marigold Seeds | Peach Pink Yellow, Annual, Heat Tolerant | Tagetes patula

Strawberry Blonde Marigold is a beautiful twist on the classic marigold, bringing soft peach, pink, pale yellow, and warm orange tones to the garden instead of the traditional bold orange and yellow. Blooms are temperature sensitive with deeper, richer colors in cooler weather. This compact variety is easy to grow, cheerful, and perfect for adding a softer, more romantic pop of color to borders, containers, raised beds, and companion planting areas.

🌱 Growing Instructions
Start Strawberry Blonde Marigold seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before your last expected frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil and keep evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them 8–10 inches apart in a sunny location. Marigolds grow best in full sun and are wonderfully low-maintenance once established. Water during dry periods, avoid overly wet soil, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers throughout the season. Their compact size makes them especially nice for patio pots, edging, raised beds, and tucking around vegetable gardens for extra color and charm.
