Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Striking Appearance: Features large, bright yellow flowers measuring up to 8 cm (3 in) across on compact plants about 40 cm (16 in) tall.
  • Flexible Planting: Thrive when seeded directly into warm spring soil or started indoors for earlier blooms. Surface sowing recommended as light aids germination.
  • Quick & Prolific Bloomer: Enjoy rapid germination within 7-10 days at 22 C (74 F), followed by robust flowering throughout the season.
  • Versatile Culinary Uses: Though primarily ornamental, marigold petals are edible and make a colorful garnish for salads and desserts.
  • Adaptable and Resilient: Naturally tough, these marigolds are well-suited to a variety of garden settings and are generally pest-resistant.

Welcome stunning sunshine into your garden with our Inca Yellow Marigold Seeds! These seeds produce vibrantly colored, day-neutral blooms that are perfect for both new and seasoned gardeners seeking to add long-lasting beauty to their outdoor spaces. Begin by planting seeds directly into warm spring soil or pre-start them indoors about four weeks before the last frost. Press the seeds gently onto the surface of the soil, as they require light to germinate effectively. Maintain a consistent temperature of 22°C (74°F) for optimal germination, which typically occurs in 7-10 days. Once sprouted, reduce the temperature to 18°C (65°F) to strengthen the plants.

Not only do these marigolds create a visually appealing spectacle with their large, yellow blooms, but they are also edible, adding a splash of color to culinary creations. Durable and easy to care for, these marigolds are an excellent choice for gardeners aiming for low-maintenance yet striking flower gardens.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Inca Yellow Marigold seeds directly into warm spring soil or start them indoors 4 weeks before the last frost. Surface sow the seeds as they need light for germination. Maintain a temperature of 22°C (74°F) for optimal germination.

Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days. Once sprouted, reduce the temperature to 18°C (65°F) to strengthen the plants. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing them about 10 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Fertilize fortnightly with a balanced fertilizer and liquid seaweed for best results. Enjoy the large, vibrant blooms throughout the season, and use the edible petals to add color to culinary dishes.
