nic's Marigold 'Boy-O-Boy Mix' Seeds

Summer long flowering – easy to grow.

Sow the seed thinly in pots or trays on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at apporx. 15 – 20c in a good quality, finely sieved, moist compost 6mm deep. Germination should take 14 – 21 days. Transplant seedlings spacing them 5cm apart in trays and grow on. Acclimatise the plants to outside conditions and then plant 15 – 23cm apart in a sunny place. Alternatively, sow thinly direct outside into finely raked, moist, warm, weed-free soil where the plants are to flower 6mm deep.

Colour companions – white Alyssum and blue lobelia.
