How to grow French marigold 'Granada'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Granada likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Granada is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Growing Granada from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Granada about 49 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Granada

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