Marigold Coco Gold F1

Marigold Coco Gold Seeds

Bring a rich golden hue to your garden with Marigold Coco Gold seeds! These sturdy plants produce an abundance of fully double blooms, measuring a generous 2 1/2–3 inches, making them excellent for both cut flowers and vibrant garden beds.

Their bold, uniform flowers are also ideal for creating cheerful marigold garlands. Blooming a bit later and with slightly smaller flowers than the Giant Series, Coco Gold offers a beautiful mid-sized option.

Also known as African, American, or Aztec marigold, the petals are edible, adding a floral, slightly citrusy-spicy, and somewhat bitter touch to salads, desserts, and cooked dishes (remove the bitter base before consuming).

Growing Tips for Your Marigold Coco Gold Seeds:

Transplant (recommended): Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling containers 4-6 weeks before planting out, lightly covering the seeds. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. For flowering in packs, sow approximately 8 weeks before your desired bloom time.

Direct Seed: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep directly into the garden after the soil has warmed.

Pinching young plants encourages bushier growth. Choose a sunny location with average soil and a preferred pH of 6.0-7.5. Feed moderately. High temperatures can temporarily slow growth and blooming. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooms.

Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Harvest flowers when fully open but still have tight centers. Coco Gold Marigolds are great for beds, borders, mass plantings, containers, and window boxes.
