French marigold 'Dwarf French Mix'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Dwarf French Mix is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips.

Sow the seed thinly in pots or trays on a windowsill or in a greenhouse in a good quality, finely sieved, moist compost.

Ensure a distance of 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Dwarf French Mix about 49 days before your last frost date.

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.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Dwarf French Mix is a half hardy plant.
