€5.50
African Marigold Tagetes Erecta Hot Stuff F1 from Thompson & Morgan is the perfect choice for gardeners looking for a bold burst of colour and resilience. Selected for its sheer flower power, Hot Stuff produces large, vibrant orange blooms with frilled petals that make a striking statement in any garden. Standing tall at 75 cm, these plants are ideal for adding height and visual impact to borders or larger containers. They are known for their robustness, able to withstand summer rains and thrive even through the hottest sunniest days.
This variety is not only prized for its stunning appearance but also for its durability, making it a fantastic option for low-maintenance gardening. The bright orange blooms create a spectacular display that lasts all summer long, offering a continuous splash of colour. Hot Stuff is also a great choice for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies to your garden, and it makes an excellent cut flower, bringing vibrant colour into your home.
Sow the seeds indoors from early spring (February to April) in seed trays filled with a fine compost. Keep the trays in a warm, bright spot at around 18-21°C until the seeds germinate, typically within 7-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting them outdoors after the last frost. Space the plants around 30-35 cm apart to give them room to grow.
African Marigold Tagetes Erecta Hot Stuff F1 thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it is drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect choice for a summer display with minimal care. Regular watering will ensure healthy growth, and deadheading spent flowers will help encourage more blooms throughout the season.
Whether you're looking to brighten up a border, add a pop of colour to containers, or attract pollinators to your garden, Hot Stuff is an excellent choice. Its vibrant blooms, sturdy growth, and summer-long performance make it a standout addition to any garden.
