Non-Stop Colour

Bring a burst of colour to your garden with Marigold Zenith hybrid bedding plants. This Afro-French marigold variety is celebrated for its vibrant carnation-like blooms in reds, oranges, yellows, and striking bicolours. Enjoy a dazzling display from early summer right through to autumn.

• Botanical Excellence: The Zenith series blends the robust weather resistance of African marigolds (Tagetes erecta) with the compact growth and vivid hues of French marigolds (Tagetes patula).
• Bountiful Blooms: These hybrids produce masses of double flowers that thrive in UK gardens, delivering reliable colour even in unpredictable weather.
• Mature Size: Each plant reaches around 35cm (14") in height and spread—perfect for neat borders, lively containers, or massed bedding schemes.
• Flowering Period: Expect continuous blooms from June through October.

Growing Guide

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade.
• Soil: Grows best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Neutral to slightly acidic pH is ideal.
• Caring For Your Marigolds: Water regularly during dry spells. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. No special fertiliser required—general-purpose feed is sufficient.
• Hardiness: Suitable for all UK gardens as annuals; not frost-hardy.

Planting & Care

• When to Plant: Plant out after the last frosts in late spring or early summer.
• How to Plant: Space plants about 25-30cm apart in prepared beds or containers. Water well after planting.
• Pest & Disease Resistance: Generally robust but watch for slugs on young plants.

Design Tips & Companion Planting

• Add instant impact to beds, borders, patio pots, or window boxes with these compact marigolds.
• Their bright colours pair beautifully with blue Lobelia, Petunias, or Salvia for classic summer displays.
• Avoid planting in the same spot every year to reduce risk of soil-borne diseases.
