Vigorous and floriferous summer-flowering plants to be used as filler in borders and containers, as bedding and edging, and for cut flowers. The green foliage is smooth textured, deeply cut in a fern-like manner, and pungent. Tagetes erecta, African Marigold, grows 3 feet tall with 2-5 inch, carnation-like, double-petaled, yellow-orange flower heads. Tagetes patula, French Marigold, is lower growing from 6-24 inches tall with 11/2-2 inch, single- or double-petaled flowers that are yellow or orange and often marked with red. Tagetes filifolia, Irish Lace, grows 6-12 inches tall with tiny, white flowers and foliage that is even more finely cut than the above two species
How to Sow
Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost at a temperature of 70-75°
Expect germination in 5-7 days
Start the African Marigolds indoors 2-3 weeks earlier than the French as they take longer to initiate flowering
Alternatively, sow seeds outdoors after all danger of frost has past
When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
How to Grow
Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves
Spacing: Space 6-18 inches apart in full sun
Soil: Site in a neutral to slightly alkaline, average, well-drained soil
Additional Care: Pinch to promote compactness and deadhead to prolong flowering. Taller types may need staking. Very tolerant of exposure, heat, and humidity, but will need supplemental watering during droughts
