French marigold 'Hero bee'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Hero bee is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips.

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

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

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