Why not try planting African marigold seeds? These beautiful flowers come in a variety of colors, and are easy to grow from marigold seed. In this blog post, we will teach you everything you need to know about growing African marigolds. We will discuss how to plant the seeds and how to care for your plants once they have grown. PLANTINGFrom Seed Seeds can be sown indoors in a seed tray starting about four to six weeks before your average last frost date. Plant your seeds about a quarter of an inch deep in a seed tray filled with moist, sterile seed-staring mix. I like to plant three seeds per cell to improve the chances of germination. After you’ve sown your seeds, grab a humidity dome and place it on top of the tray, or wrap it in plastic. Germination happens very quickly for marigolds – you will see sprouts in as little as five to 10 days. Remove the humidity dome at the first sign of germination. Place the tray in a sunny window or under a good set of grow lights, and keep the soil moist. If you are using a sunny window, turn your seed trays every two or three days to keep your seedlings growing straight – they tend to lean towards sunlight and may fall over if you’re not careful. Thin the seedlings if more than one has sprouted per cell. Move your seedlings outdoors to harden them off about a week before you plan to plant them in your landscape or pot them up outdoors – they do require some time to acclimate to their surroundings. Ideally, you will move your seedlings outdoors two weeks after your last frost date, but no sooner. Directly sowing your seeds into the landscape instead can be done about two weeks after your last average frost date. African marigolds do not like frost, so planning ahead will help to set you up for success! Select a protected and sunny spot within your landscape to sow your seeds. If you’ve selected a cultivar that grows over 16 inches in height, you’ll want to plant in an area that’s sheltered from strong winds, or you will need to stake them. Loosen the soil, amending the area with a high-quality soil mix. If you have compost available, add one or two handfuls to the soil mixture. Remember that marigolds thrive in moderately fertile, well-draining soil. Space your seeds approximately 12 inches apart, planting about a quarter-inch deep, and water deeply.
