Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start warm

Sow 4–6 weeks ahead in trays, barely covered; seedlings appear in 4–7 days at 75–80°F.

Plant after frost

Space 8–18" apart depending on type, in full sun and ordinary soil.

Pinch and deadhead

Pinch for branching and remove spent blooms to keep flowers coming.

Cut when open

Harvest fully open flowers while the centers are still tight.

Growing Information

Days to germination

4–7 days at 75–80°F (24–27°C).

Transplanting (recommended)

Sow in 72-cell trays or similar 4–6 weeks before planting out, just barely covering the seed, and plant out once frost danger has passed. For plants in bloom in packs, sow about 8 weeks before you want flowers.

Direct sowing

Sow 1/4" deep.

Pinching and deadheading

Pinching young plants makes them branch. Remove spent flowers regularly to keep new ones coming. Heat waves can make plants pause and flower less for a while.

36–42".

Plant spacing

French marigolds 8–12", Gem (signet) marigolds about 12", African marigolds 12–18".

Grown as an annual.

Harvest

Cut when the flowers are fully open but the centers are still tight.

Soil

Ordinary garden soil with moderate feeding; pH 6.0–7.5 is best.

Uses

Beds, borders, mass plantings, pots and window boxes. The petals are edible, and the taller kinds make good cut flowers.
