Moonlight African Marigold 25+Seeds – Creamy Yellow Marigold – Large Double Cottage Garden Cut Flowers

Grow elegant, softly colored blooms with Moonlight African Marigold Seeds. This beautiful African marigold variety produces large, densely petaled flowers in a delicate creamy yellow to pale lemon shade, giving the garden a softer look than traditional bright orange marigolds.

Moonlight develops sturdy upright plants topped with impressive rounded blooms that stand beautifully above rich green foliage. The flowers are excellent for borders, cutting gardens, cottage gardens, vegetable garden edges, containers, and fresh floral arrangements.

These heat-loving annuals bloom generously through summer and into fall when regularly deadheaded, making them a wonderful choice for long-lasting seasonal color.
