Outsidepride Marigold Flower Seed Mix - 1000 Seeds

Tagetes patula mix is our popular and most-loved Marigold mix that is easy to grow from seed and easy to maintain. This mix has blooms that reach 8 - 12 inches in height and produces masses of blooms in shades of yellow, orange, and bi-color. Butterflies love these flowers! The plants are small, bushy and compact making them perfect for edging borders and for containers. When planted in a mass grouping, the color is magnificent! Marigolds perform from late spring through frost, and with some deadheading, the blooming will continue to be heavy. They perform well even during the intense heat of summer. Start the seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the seed into the soil and lightly cover with soil. Keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 70 - 75F, germination is usually within 20 days. Marigolds can bloom from seed in 8 - 10 weeks. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space the plants 8 inches apart. Grow in full sun and in moist, well-drained soil. Marigolds are usually resistant to deer.
