Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Marigolds belong to the Tagetes genus within the daisy family, Asteraceae.

  • Marigold flowers come in several warm shades, including yellow, orange, and red.

  • The familiar marigold flower head is actually made up of many individual florets.

  • Marigolds are popular companion plants in home vegetable and flower gardens, although their benefits vary by garden situation.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. In colder climates, seeds can be started indoors several weeks before the last frost.

Sowing: Prepare loose, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Place seeds on the soil and cover them lightly.

Depth: Sow approximately one-quarter inch deep. Avoid planting seeds too deeply.

Spacing: Thin seedlings according to the mature size of the selected marigold variety, generally leaving about six to eighteen inches between plants.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for healthy plants and abundant flowering.

Soil: Marigolds grow well in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid locations where water remains around the roots.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Once plants are established, water when the soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within about four to fourteen days under suitable warmth and moisture.

Transplanting: If started indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Harden seedlings gradually before moving them permanently outdoors.

Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer sparingly if soil fertility is low. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage foliage rather than flowers.

Care: Remove weeds around young plants and deadhead spent blooms throughout the growing season. Good air circulation helps keep foliage healthy.

  • Flowering/Maturity: Marigolds commonly begin flowering within about two months of sowing, depending on variety and growing conditions, and can continue blooming through the warm season.
