How to Grow:

Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flat or preferred seedling container 4-6 weeks before planting out, lightly covering seed. Transplant out after danger of frost. For flowering in packs, sow 8 weeks before desired bloom time. Pinching encourages branching. Marigolds are somewhat prone to damping off. As a precaution, just cover the small seeds with vermiculite, water from below, and provide ventilation in the room. Direct seed - Lightly cover. Pinch the growing tips to encourage branching. This prevents tall, spindly plants. Dead head regularly throughout the growing season. High temperatures can cause plants to stall, and temporarily decline in growth and bloom
