Planting & Care
Sow Safari Mix 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 and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil. Keep the seed starting mix consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.
Marigolds thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. These plants are relatively low-maintenance and rarely require fertilization; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production.
