Description

Botanical Interests' Kilimanjaro White Marigold Seeds offer a rare and stunning addition to any garden. These 2½” creamy white blossoms, developed after 21 years of horticultural dedication, stand out for their unique vanilla-white color and sweet scent, unlike traditional marigolds. The blooms provide a beautiful contrast in flower beds and cut-flower arrangements, while their edible petals with a slightly bitter, citrusy flavor make a delightful garnish for rice, salads, or desserts. Ideal for attracting butterflies, these drought-tolerant marigolds grow to 18″ tall and bloom from summer to frost, adding elegance to any garden setting.
