What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Marigolds are incredibly rewarding and easy to grow, making them perfect for children’s gardens or low-maintenance landscapes.
-
Sow Indoors: For the earliest floral display, start seeds in a soilless mix 6 weeks before the last spring frost. Maintain a temperature of 20°C for germination, which usually takes 7–10 days.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct seed into the garden in mid to late May. Sow 6 mm deep and keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout (roughly 7 days).
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings are 5–8 cm tall, thin or transplant them to 25 cm apart.
-
Care: Choose a site with Full Sun. To maximize the blooming window and keep the mix looking fresh, regularly deadhead (remove spent flowers). This encourages the plants to continue producing new buds until the first hard frost of autumn.
-
Garden Benefit: Often called the “garden’s bodyguard,” the scent of Marigolds naturally repels various insects, making this mix a beautiful and functional addition to any vegetable patch.
