Planting & Care
Sow Kilimanjaro White 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 surface and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off, spacing them 12–18 inches apart in a sunny location.
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Fertilize lightly if growth appears weak; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production.
