When to Sow Mr Majestic Marigold Seeds

February to April

Where to Sow

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in posts or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or in a warm place, and keep at a temperature of between 21-25°C (70-75°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 7-21 days.

What to do Next

As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12") apart in well drained soil in full sun.

Maturity

June to October

Height
