Planting & Care
Sow Harmony Marigold seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil. Keep the seed starting mix consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 8-10 inches apart in a sunny location.
Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Marigolds are relatively low-maintenance and rarely require fertilization; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production. Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites, and provide good air circulation to prevent disease.
