Mango Tango Marigold Seeds

Mango Tango Marigold is a vibrant and colorful marigold variety that lives up to its tropical name with brilliant shades of mango orange, golden yellow, and warm sunset tones. This compact, free-flowering annual produces masses of bright blooms that create a cheerful display from early summer until frost. The bold colors and tidy growth habit make Mango Tango an excellent choice for flower beds, borders, containers, and pollinator gardens where continuous color is desired.

Garden Uses:
Mango Tango Marigold is perfect for edging garden beds, mass plantings, patio containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, and mixed annual displays. The warm tropical colors blend beautifully with blue lobelia, purple salvia, red celosia, white alyssum, and ornamental grasses. It is especially attractive in sunny borders and cottage-style gardens where its bright blooms provide season-long color.

Growing Information:
Sow seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the final frost or directly outdoors once danger of frost has passed. Cover seeds lightly with soil and maintain temperatures between 70-75°F. Germination usually occurs within 5 to 10 days. Marigolds thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, they tolerate heat, humidity, and occasional dry conditions remarkably well. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the growing season.
