Growing Non-GMO Petite Mixture French Marigold Flower Seeds

Marigold seeds can be directly sown where they will grow after the last frost. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms. Germinate them in a warm, well-lit area. Harden off the seedlings gradually before permanently transplanting them outdoors. After sowing and transplanting, the marigolds should be watered heavily.

Avoid overhead watering, as this can cause diseases easily avoidable with proper irrigation. These gorgeous marigolds will bloom right up until the last frost. Petite Mixture marigold is a vigorous full sun performer native to Mexico and known to tolerate gardens prone to heat, drought, and clay soils. Plants must be properly drained and ventilated. Deadheading them throughout the season can keep the plants looking clean and producing many blooms. Keep the area weed-free for beautiful, vibrant colors all summer.
