Do African marigolds produce white flowers?
Most African marigolds (Tagetes erecta) produce yellow, orange, or golden blooms. Cream-colored and pale varieties exist, but a pure white African marigold is unusual. Confirm the cultivar and expected flower color with the supplier before purchasing or listing these seeds.

How much sunlight do African marigolds need to flower well?
