25 Sweet Cream Marigold Seeds - Tagetes erecta, Creamy White Blooms
$27.40
Sweet Cream Marigold is a distinctive African marigold variety prized for its large, creamy white to pale yellow blooms. Unlike typical orange and gold marigolds, this cultivar offers a soft, elegant color that blends beautifully into white-themed gardens, pastel borders, and cottage-style plantings. The fully double flowers rise atop sturdy stems, providing long-lasting color from summer through fall.
These marigolds are easy to grow from seed and make excellent bedding plants, container subjects, and cut flowers. Their bushy, upright habit adds structure to garden beds, and the blooms attract pollinators while adding a warm, creamy glow to the landscape.

Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.
