When to Seed Marigolds

This annual flower should be transplanted or direct seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Marigolds

This flower will need full sun and will prefer loose, well-draining soil, however, it is not super picky about its growing conditions. Consider choosing a spot tucked between other crops to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects.

Growing Marigolds

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and three to six inches apart. Once mature, thin to 12 to 18 inches apart. This is a pretty low-maintenance crop, but regularly deadheading will result in more flowers.  

Harvesting Marigolds

Stems can be harvested for cut flowers using sharp shears, but leave some flowers in your garden to help with pest control and attract pollinators.
