Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow after the danger of frost has passed when the soil is warm. In warm, frost-free climates, planting can be timed according to favorable growing conditions.

Sowing: Sow directly in prepared garden soil or start seeds indoors before transplanting. Place seeds on the soil and cover them lightly.

Depth: Sow approximately one-quarter inch deep. Avoid burying the seeds deeply.

Spacing: Space plants according to their mature size and variety. Compact marigolds need less room than larger African types.

Sunlight: Grow in full sun for strong growth and good flowering.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil. Good drainage helps prevent problems associated with excessive moisture.

Watering: Keep newly sown seeds evenly moist until they germinate. Once established, water regularly while allowing excess water to drain.

Germination: Seeds generally emerge within several days when provided with suitable warmth, moisture, and growing conditions.

Transplanting: If started indoors, move seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed. Gradually expose young plants to outdoor conditions before permanent planting.

Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth instead of flowers.

Care: Keep weeds away from young plants, maintain good airflow, and remove faded blooms when desired.

Flowering/Maturity: Flowering time depends on species, cultivar, temperature, and growing conditions. Established marigolds can provide seasonal blooms throughout favorable warm weather.
