Product Description
African Marigold Seeds - Smiles
Native to the warm climates of South and Central America (not Africa, believe it or not) Smiles Marigolds grow tall with large, bright yellow flowers, blooming in summer and fall. A common cultural symbol in Mexico, Marigolds are often included in Dia de los Muertos celebrations in the fall, when these blooms are at their peak!
