🌱 HOW TO GROW AFRICAN MARIGOLD
Marigolds are among the easiest flowers to grow and reward gardeners with continuous blooms throughout the growing season.
Direct sow outdoors 1–2 weeks after the last spring frost, or start seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before your final frost date for earlier flowering.
• Press seeds gently into the soil and lightly cover.
• Keep soil evenly moist during germination.
• Germination typically occurs in 5–20 days at 70–75°F.
• Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
African Marigolds thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Once established, they tolerate short periods of dry weather, although regular watering encourages healthier plants and larger blooms. Deadheading spent flowers throughout the season will keep plants blooming heavily until frost.
🌿 SEED STORAGE
