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. Marigolds are a common cultural symbol in Mexico, and are often included in Dia de los Muertos celebrations in the fall, when these blooms are at their peak!
