Wholesale Marigold 'Starfire Mix' Flower Seeds

The Marigold ‘Starfire Mix’ is a type of Signet Marigold (Tagetes tenuifolia) with many small, edible flowers in red, orange, and yellow. It’s an easy, low-maintenance annual that tolerates heat, attracts pollinators, and helps keep pests away. Appearance: The plants produce masses of dainty, penny-sized flowers with single petals, some featuring a contrasting central blotch, above fern-like foliage. Scent & Flavor: Both the flowers and the foliage have a pleasant, spicy, citrus/verbena-like scent when crushed. The petals are edible and can be used as a colorful garnish in salads and desserts, adding a tangy bite. Garden Benefits: This variety is a great companion plant for vegetable gardens, as it helps deter pests. It also attracts valuable pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Versatility: Recommended for container gardening, beds and borders, cutting gardens, and edible landscapes. The blooms are "cut-and-come-again," meaning harvesting encourages more flowers throughout the season. 1/2g. seed packet (approx. 160 seeds) Packaged in a 4”x6” brown kraft paper envelope, with planting info/qr code on back.
