(Tagetes patula). Cheerful, 2-inch, single-petaled blooms in a fun mix of yellows, reds, oranges, and golds. This splendid blend adds sunshine to beds, borders, and the vegetable patch. Known as an early bloomer, these plants are quite short and tidy at just 9 inches tall by 6-10 inches wide. This variety is very floriferous, and each plant is jam packed with blocks of color, reminiscent of a checkered disco dance floor!

Growing Tips

Disco Mix marigolds produce cheerful, single-petaled blooms in rich hues of orange, red, and gold. Their compact growth and early flowering make them ideal for edging, containers, and pollinator gardens. These French marigolds are easy to grow, pest-tolerant, and thrive with full sun, moderate watering, and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading boosts continual blooms.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before your last expected spring frost or sow directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. In frost-free zones, a late-summer planting can provide fall color. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in loose, fertile soil or seed-starting mix. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist during germination. Plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day for optimal flower development.

How to Grow

After seedlings develop their first set of true leaves, thin or transplant to allow 8-10 inches between plants. Disco Mix thrives in warm weather and prefers even moisture. Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month, and remove faded flowers to encourage ongoing blooming through the season.

How to Save

  • Wait for flowers to dry completely on the plant.
  • Snip off the withered heads and place in a paper bag.
  • Break apart the flower head to reveal long, slender seeds.
  • Remove any chaff or petals.
  • Store seeds in a cool, dark, dry place in a labeled envelope or jar.
