Cut Flower Marigold Kilimanjaro Seedlings

Tagetes erecta

Cut flower Marigold Kilimanjaro seedlings, grown by Gray Floral NZ and shipping NZ wide.

Vanilla Marigolds are few and far between - with several seed lines being discontinued over the last few years. Luckily we have found Kilimanjaro which is a tall African Marigold in shades of vanilla and buttercream! Very sturdy tall plants which produce blooms over a long period. Fantastic in the cutting garden or the veggie patch as a companion plant. 

We have found Kilimanjaro produces a range of bloom shapes and subtle colour tones, opening greeny yellow out to ivory, and cream. Some blooms are anemone centered nd some fully double! Cut and come again.

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
