Sow seeds about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) deep in well-drained soil, water gently and keep moist. Seedlings usually appear within a week in warm conditions, around 70–75°F (21–24°C). Transplant or thin to 8–12 inches apart once seedlings are sturdy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun for the best flowering. Water regularly at the base but avoid waterlogging, and let the surface dry slightly between waterings. A little compost or organic manure is enough, as too much fertiliser produces leaves at the expense of flowers. Pinch young plants once to encourage bushier growth, and remove faded flowers to keep them blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45564950937783,"sku":"PL-21DEC-23","price":16.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/render_5365b106-c9d7-4aae-802a-7d0c4404bd20.jpg?v=1770111288","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/marigold-jafri-seeds-tagetes-patula-french-marigold-flower-seeds-for-planting","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
