Marigolds do best in light sandy to loamy soil; they won't do very well in heavy clay soils. They also need plenty of organic material. Therefore, work well-rotted manure or compost into the flowerbed before planting. Also, choose a place that is not waterlogged. Marigolds consume a large amount of nitrogen from the soil during vegetation, so don't forget to replenish it, e.g., in the form of chicken manure.
Now to the sowing itself. You can sow marigolds into a smaller seed tray and subsequently plant the seedlings into the flowerbed. Or sow into a seed tray, prick out into a plug tray, and again plant grown seedlings into the flowerbed. In both cases, sow marigold seeds on the surface of the substrate and cover lightly with vermiculite. Marigolds are not frost-hardy, so wait until after the last frost to transplant them. After transplanting, the marigold will bloom in 6 - 9 weeks.
You can grow marigolds in two ways — single-stem, i.e., one plant creates one stem which you harvest and put in a vase. In such a case, you can plant a larger amount of plants per m2 (up to 48).
The second way of growing is to pinch the main stem (terminal) and at that moment the marigold branches out and creates bushier plants. For this method of growing, we recommend 24 plants per m2, which works out to a spacing of 20 cm apart. After pinching, plants are more robust and do not need support, so we recommend this growing method.
If you grow marigolds as a cut flower, after harvest you can store them dry or in water, at a temperature of 2 - 5 °C. They last 10 days in a vase.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
