How to grow African Marigold 'Snowdrift'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Snowdrift likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Snowdrift is thought of as half hardy, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather.

Growing Snowdrift from seed

Aim to sow 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Snowdrift

As Snowdrift is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
