Tagetes Sugar & Spice White
Tagetes Sugar & Spice White, better known as marigold, is a versatile addition to both your garden and kitchen. You’re probably familiar with the brightly colored marigolds, but this is a beautiful white variety. Tagetes is a natural protector against pests in your vegetable garden. They improve the soil by combating harmful nematodes, making your garden healthier and more fertile. The fresh, mildly spicy petals are perfect for garnishing salads, desserts, or summery drinks. A plant that is both practical and ornamental, and moreover, easy to sow and care for!
Sow directly into open ground or pots from April at a temperature of 15-20°C. Marigolds prefer a sunny location and well-draining soil. They grow quickly and bloom abundantly from June to October. Regularly removing spent flowers extends the flowering period.
