Planting & Care
Sow Ildkongen Marigold seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep them moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at 70-75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.
These marigolds thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Fertilize lightly if needed; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production.
