About this product

It grows and flowers well in both sun and partial shade and is not fussy about soil, though it performs best in fertile loam. Use it in window boxes, beds, cemetery plantings and pots.

Advice from our agronomist
Sow in March or April. Tall marigolds need a longer season than dwarf kinds, so sow in trays 0.5-1 cm deep and keep at +20-22 °C; seedlings appear in about a week.
Plant out in late May. Once frosts are over, set plants 30-35 cm apart, slightly deeper than in their pots for a stronger root system.
Deadhead faded heads. Regular tidying keeps plants neat and encourages new buds. In dry spells water at the base, not over the flowers.
