How to Sow and Plant

Sow French Yellow Marigold seeds in well-drained soil after the last frost has passed.

Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, approximately ¼ inch deep.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy until germination, which usually occurs within 7–21 days under suitable conditions.

How to Grow

Grow marigolds in a sunny location that receives 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Water the plants regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering to prevent waterlogging.

Remove spent flowers by deadheading to promote continuous blooming and healthy growth.

Apply a light fertiliser occasionally to support vibrant flowers and strong plants.

Tips

For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant outdoors once temperatures are warm.

Space plants adequately to ensure good air circulation, which helps reduce the risk of disease.
