Growing Non-GMO Dainty Marietta French Marigold Flower Seeds
Marigold seeds can be directly sown in the garden bed when soil temperatures are consistently above 60F. Although, starting them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost will ensure 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 marigold roots should be watered heavily. Avoid getting water on the leaves.
Avoid overhead watering, as this can cause diseases easily avoidable with proper irrigation. These gorgeous marigolds will bloom right up until the last frost. Deadheading them throughout the season will keep the plants clean and highly productive. Keep the area weed-free for beautiful, vibrant blooms all summer.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"Marigolds are often one of the easiest first steps in any organic IPM program. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) dictates using all tools at our disposal to repel and dispose of harmful pests. Pair marigolds with other strategies such as barriers, horticultural oils, and diatomaceous earth to round out your program."
