This creamy-white flowered African marigold produces masses of large blooms up to 8cm (3") across that are absolutely pure in colour. Making a refreshing change from the usual yellows and oranges, the pom-pom flowers of Marigold 'French Vanilla' are borne on compact, bushy plants. An added bonus is a less pungent aroma compared to most other marigolds! These charming plants are perfect for bringing a contemporary twist to beds, borders and patio containers. Height and spread: 45cm (18"). Supplied as garden-ready plants

Culinary information: The citrus tasting flowers have many uses, try them in salads, sandwiches or seafood dishes too. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Gradually acclimatise garden-ready Marigold plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions in beds, baskets and patio containers. Only plant out once all risk of frost has passed. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on.

Grow marigold plants in any well drained soil in full sun. Feed and water regularly. Deadhead faded marigold flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
