MARIGOLD
When to Sow ~ Spring or Summer.
Where to Grow ~ Full sun, well-drained site. Great border
plant.
How to Sow ~ Best sown in trays for subsequent
transplanting when danger of frost has passed. Optimum
germination temperature is 22- 24°C. Place seed 3cm apart,
5mm deep. Keep seedbed evenly moist during germination.
Care ~ When the seedlings have 3 well defined leaves,
transplant into trays or punnets.
African Marigold (Tagetes erecta) have larger flowers and
usually a larger, more vigorous plant. Plant spacing should
be approx 30-40cm. French Marigold (Tagetes patula) only
need approx. 20cm spacing between plants.
Tips ~ Both varieties originate from Mexico. They are a
good, hardy sun loving plant, easy to grow, adding vibrant
colour to the garden.
