Plant Cycle: Annual (1 planting season only)

Germinate Indoor: Plant indoor 4-6 weeks before last frost. Using seed starting soil, sow a seed 1/4″ deep in soil in individual containers. Keep them close to the grow light or near the window so they don’t turn leggy. Do not move outdoor yet if temperature is less than 70F. Keep soil moist and well drained.

Directly sow outdoor: Sow seeds 1/4” deep in soil after last frost, keep soil moist and well drained.

Marigolds are excellent companion plants that repel most pests from vegetable gardens.
