How to Sow
Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost at a temperature of 70-75°
Expect germination in 5-7 days
Start the African Marigolds indoors 2-3 weeks earlier than the French as they take longer to initiate flowering
Alternatively, sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has past
When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
How to Grow
Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves
Spacing: Space 6-18 inches apart in full sun
Soil: Site in a neutral to slightly alkaline, average, well-drained soil
Additional Care: Pinch to promote compactness and deadhead to prolong flowering. Taller types may need staking. Very tolerant of exposure, heat, and humidity, but will need supplemental watering during droughts
