French marigold 'Safari Scarlet'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Safari Scarlet is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea).

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.17 inches (3.0 cm).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Safari Scarlet about 35 days before your last frost date.

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