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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarigolds 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Safari Mix Marigold seeds (Tagetes patula), a colorful blend of red, yellow, and orange varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795541885238,"sku":"FOLIA2-448","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7145762352_n49l.jpg?v=1792671455","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-safari-mix-marigold-seeds-red-yellow-orange-tagetes","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
