Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, or start them indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Cover seeds lightly with about 1/4 inch of soil and keep the planting area evenly moist until germination. Thin or transplant seedlings so they are spaced 8 to 12 inches apart, giving each plant room to develop a full, bushy shape.
Golden Guardian Marigold performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the season.
