Soft Cream Marigold Blooms for Your Garden
African Marigold Moonlight (Tagetes erecta 'Moonlight') is a striking variety that produces large, fully double pompon blooms in a soft ivory-cream colour with a hint of pale yellow. Unlike the usual orange and gold marigolds, Moonlight brings a cool, elegant glow to garden borders and cutting beds.
The tall, sturdy plants produce abundant flowers from spring through autumn and are loved by gardeners for their long vase life and ability to repel garden pests.

Growing in Pakistan
African Marigolds are a warm-season flower that thrive in Pakistani climates. For Punjab and most plain regions, sow from February–April for spring–summer blooms, and again from July–August for autumn flowering. In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza, Quetta), sow March–June. Provide full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate watering. Marigolds also help repel aphids, whiteflies, and nematodes when planted near vegetables.
