Refined and Annual Marigold Seed Mix for Planting

Revised Content:

When to Plant: For direct sowing, plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. For starting indoors, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant seedlings outside once temperatures are consistently warm.

Where to Plant: Marigolds thrive in full sun, as it is essential for maximum blooming. They tolerate average soil but prefer well-draining conditions. Adjust the spacing depending on the variety: French marigolds should be planted 6-12 inches apart, while African marigolds require 12-18 inches of space.

Planting Instructions: 1. Direct Sowing: Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing weeds. Scatter the seeds thinly on the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Gently press the seeds into the soil, water lightly, and keep the soil moist.

1. Starting Indoors: Fill seed trays or individual pots with seed-starting mix. Sow the seeds on the surface, gently press them in, and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil. Place the containers in a warm, sunny location and keep the growing medium moist but not soggy.

2. Germination: Marigold seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days.

3. Thinning: When the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the desired spacing: French marigolds should be 6-12 inches apart, and African marigolds should be 12-18 inches apart.

Unique Features: Marigolds offer a vibrant color combination of gold and blue, making them an eye-catching addition to any garden. They are also known as a pollinator magnet, attracting beneficial insects like butterflies and bees. Marigolds are easy to grow from seed, making them suitable even for gardening beginners. Additionally, French Marigolds provide continuous blooms throughout the season, ensuring a long-lasting display.

The generous 200-seed count in this package offers an abundant supply of flowers at a great value, allowing you to create a stunning and vibrant garden.
