About -

Transform your garden into a radiant spectacle with Richgrow Seeds Marigold African Double Mix Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Tagetes erecta), ideal for home gardeners seeking bold, vibrant blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as African Marigold or Genda, this Double Mix produces large, fully double, pompon-like flowers, measuring 8–12 cm across, in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and gold, perfect for beds, borders, containers, or as pest-repellent companion plants, blooming from 8–10 weeks after sowing through summer to fall. These nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, while their strong aroma deters pests like nematodes, enhancing garden health. The sturdy, bushy plants, growing 60–90 cm tall and 30–45 cm wide, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring (March–May) or early monsoon (June–July) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 30–45 cm apart in rows 45 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 7–14 days at 20–25°C. Maintain moist soil with regular watering (1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and fertilize with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or whiteflies. Pinch young plants at 10–15 cm tall to promote bushiness, with excellent durability for cut flowers or festival decorations. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (100–150 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Deadhead regularly for prolonged blooms; plant near vegetables for natural pest control.
