What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Marigolds are among the most rewarding annuals for the Canadian garden, offering maximum colour with minimal effort.
-
Sow Indoors: For the earliest possible blooms, start seeds 6 weeks before the last spring frost. Maintain a temperature of 20°C for a 7–10 day germination period.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct seed into the garden in mid to late May once the soil has warmed. Sow 6 mm deep and keep the area watered until sprouts appear.
-
Transplanting: Thin or transplant seedlings to 25 cm apart when they reach 5–8 cm in height.
-
Care: These plants thrive in Full Sun. Regularly deadheading (removing withered flowers) is the best way to ensure the plant continues to produce new yellow blooms right until the autumn frost.
-
Garden Benefit: The pungent aroma of African Marigolds acts as a natural deterrent for many common garden pests, making them a functional and beautiful addition to any vegetable patch.
