Tagetes 'Cinnabar'

An exceedingly elegant French Marigold, with long stems, aromatic foliage and deep red flowers edged with gold. They are extremely easy to grow (and save seed from) and extremely useful in a cut garden. One sowing will give you buckets of foliage followed by bunches of richly coloured flowers. 

Cinnabar is a Great Dixter original (go visit this garden if you haven't already) - selected from a particularly tall specimen found in their borders. When I say tall, I mean tall - Cinnabar reaches 1.2m, so don’t plant it in between your tomatoes! Give it its own area of the garden to flourish in.

• Sow: Mar-April undercover, May-June outside.
• Plant: 4-6 weeks after sowing at 30cm. Wait until risk of frost has passed.
• Harvest: Pick stems when flowers are half open. 60cm stem length.
• Vase: Expect a vase life of 7 days.

Approx 100 seeds. We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
