French marigold 'Yellow Jacket'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Yellow Jacket is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips.

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 Yellow Jacket about 49 days before your last frost date.

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