Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Marigolds are generally low-maintenance and rarely require fertilization; too much nitrogen can reduce flower production.
