When to Plant Marigold Seeds
Sow marigold seeds directly after all threat of frost has passed. It is recommended that you wait approximately one to two weeks after the final frost date. Marigolds can also be sown indoors about six to eight weeks before the last frost.
Where to plant marigold seeds
Marigolds tolerate most soil types and prefer warm, full sun conditions. Marigolds grow best in fertile, well-drained soil that is kept moist, although they can be somewhat drought tolerant once established. Keep in mind that marigolds are susceptible to powdery mildew if they are planted in a cool or moist location.
How to Plant Marigold Seeds
If starting indoors, fill pots with seed mix and sow three to four seeds in each pot. Press the seeds into the soil so that they are in good contact with the soil, and water well. Do not allow the seeds to be covered with more than 1/4 inch of soil.
How to care for marigolds
Once planted, marigolds require minimal care. Generally, hand watering is only necessary if the soil is dry or dusty to the touch, or if it has been more than two weeks since any natural rainfall.
