Description: Marigold is a hardy full sun performer and most commonly sown directly after the frost but, for earliest blooms, begin seeds 6-8 weeks indoors prior to the frost. Marigolds will take 7-21 days to germinate in full lighting. Plant 2-3 marigold seeds ¼" deep and 6" apart in average, evenly moist, and well-drained soil in full sun. Sparky Mixture marigold is a vigorous full sun performer native to Mexico and known to tolerate gardens prone to heat, drought, and clay soils. Plants must be properly drained and ventilated area. May be susceptible to powdery mildew, root rot, leaf spots, and Botrytis. Occasional misting with a mixture of water and a few drops of peppermint oil helps. Marigold has no serious pests but monitor regularly for spider mites and thrips. Marigold seeds mature in 63-77 days as 12 to 14 inch tall shrubby mounds with a 4-6" spread of 2-3" semi-double blooms in a beautiful mixture of colors. Tagetes patula, more commonly known as French Marigold, is one of the most awarded, recognized, and cultivated flowers in the entire world. Tagetes patula is native to Mexico and Guatemala despite having the misleading name of French marigold. Marigold has been used for thousands of years by pre-Spanish civilizations in medicine, food, dyes, and ritual.
