Sow Mandarin Marigold seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep 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.
Provide full sun and consistent moisture for best growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Marigolds are relatively low-maintenance and generally resistant to common pests, making them a reliable choice for colorful summer displays.
