Mango Tango Marigold
Growing Mango Tango Marigold
‘Mango Tango’ is an award-winning French marigold and 2025 All-America Selections Winner prized for its fiery bicolor blooms, compact growth, and outstanding garden performance. Also recognized as a Fleuroselect Approved Novelty, its semi-double flowers combine soft primrose-yellow petals with bold red flames for a vivid, eye-catching effect.
Plant ‘Mango Tango’ seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 8 to 10 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 4 to 7 days. Compact plants reach about 8 to 10 inches tall and are well suited to containers and smaller gardens. This variety also offers excellent heat tolerance.
Ready to bloom in about 70 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Bushy plants begin flowering early and continue producing brilliant color from summer through fall.
Bright, compact, and award winning, ‘Mango Tango’ is an excellent choice for containers, borders, beds, mass plantings, cut flower gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
