Harris Seeds Marigold Alumia

The Alumia Crème Brulee stands out for its large, unique flattened blooms and distinct coloration. Unlike typical marigolds that often have a more rounded, pom-pom shape, these offer a flatter, more refined aesthetic that works well in both formal garden beds and mixed containers.

Yes, they are excellent for containers. With a compact growth habit reaching only 10-12 inches in height and a spread of 10-14 inches, they fit perfectly in 4-inch pots, window boxes, or mixed arrangements without overcrowding other plants.

These are best started indoors using the transplant method. You should aim for a soil temperature between 70-75°F for germination, which typically takes 5-8 days, before moving them outdoors once the weather is warm.

Absolutely. Like many marigold varieties, the Alumia Crème Brulee is pollinator-friendly and will help draw bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to your garden beds or patio containers.

Once established, these marigolds thrive in moderate conditions. They prefer daytime temperatures between 65-70°F and slightly cooler nighttime temperatures of 60-65°F to maintain their vigorous growth.
