French marigold 'Janie Yellow'

Janie Yellow likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Janie Yellow 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 Janie Yellow about 49 days before your last frost date.

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