Marigold (Tagetes Patula Mix) - Enjoy sunny blooms all summer long by starting Marigold flower seeds in the early spring. This small, compact variety has a mix of orange and yellow flowers. They are perfect for edging the front of the sunny flower garden. Butterflies will visit Marigolds again and again. When blooms are spent, deadheading will promote continued blooming. Marigolds do best with full sun and regular watering, and they will continue flowering until first hard freeze.
Sow Marigold flower seeds 6 - 8 weeks before last frost. Use good starter soil and gently press Marigold flower seeds into the soil and lightly cover. When seedlings are big enough to handle and after acclimatizing the seedlings to outdoor conditions, transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed. Marigold flower seeds may also be sown directly outdoors after last frost in prepared beds. Marigolds bloom from flower seed in 8 - 10 weeks.
