Sowing Instructions

1. Start indoors 4–6 weeks before the last expected spring frost, or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed.
2. Sow approximately 1/4 inch deep in clean seed-starting mix or finely prepared, well-drained soil.
3. Keep around 70–75°F and evenly moist, not waterlogged. Germination commonly takes 5–14 days.
4. Provide bright light as soon as seedlings emerge. Remove any humidity cover after emergence and allow gentle airflow.
5. Move seedlings into individual pots once they have several true leaves.
6. Gradually acclimate indoor-grown plants outdoors for 7–10 days before transplanting after frost danger has passed.
7. Space plants approximately 10–18 inches apart, allowing extra room for larger-growing plants.

Care

• Choose full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Use moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Containers must have drainage holes.
• Water regularly during establishment, then water when the soil surface begins to dry. Avoid standing water and prolonged wet foliage.
• Feed lightly with a balanced flower fertilizer according to its label if needed. Too much nitrogen can encourage foliage instead of flowers.
• Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued flowering and keep plants tidy.
• Marigolds are upright or bushy plants, not climbing vines. Use a small stake only if taller stems need support in a windy location.
• Check young plants for slugs and snails, and inspect foliage for mites during hot, dry weather.
• Protect from frost. Clear spent plants at the end of the growing season.
