Marigold Coco Gold is a bold African marigold with large, full double blooms. This variety stands out for its strong stem structure, making it a reliable choice for cut-flower use. Coco Gold also offers good heat tolerance and dependable performance through the peak of summer, making it a practical option for both retail growers and landscape use.
Coco Gold Selling Tips
Coco Gold is a great variety to push for customers who want something bold, warm, and easy to notice. The golden-orange blooms are especially useful for late summer and fall color themes, making this a strong option for farm stands, cut-flower growers, porch displays, and seasonal retail benches. It also gives customers a marigold that feels a little more upgraded, with large blooms and sturdy stems that work well beyond basic bedding plant use.
General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
Grow in full sun with well-drained media. African marigolds are sensitive to low pH and can show iron toxicity if the pH drops too low, so keep pH around 6.5 to 7.5 when possible. Use a balanced fertilizer around 75 to 150 ppm nitrogen.
Flowering
Short days accelerate flowering. Gold flowers bloom from spring through late summer.
Pinching
Pinching can be used if a fuller, branched plant is desired. For cut-flower production, growers may handle the crop differently depending on whether they are producing spray stems or disbudded larger blooms. Deadheading finished flowers helps keep plants looking cleaner and encourages continued color.
Spacing
Space plants around 5 to 8 inches apart. For cut-flower production, tighter spacing may be used depending on whether growers want single-stem, disbud, or spray-style production.
Pests
Monitor for aphids, thrips, spider mites, whiteflies, leaf miners, and caterpillars.
Disease
Disease issues are more likely when plants are crowded, held too wet, or grown with poor airflow. Watch for botrytis, alternaria leaf spot, bacterial leaf spot, damping off, root rot, and stem rot.
Planting Coco Gold Liners
We recommend planting 1 plug per 4 inch pot and 3-5 plugs per 10 inch pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
