Seeds Marigolds Tagetes Madjestic Flower Balcony Annual Outdoor Garden Cut Flowers for Planting Non GMO

An annual flowering plant that grows 8-12" (20-30 cm) tall. Spreading bushes are covered with brown-red flowers with wide yellow stripes that are 1-2" (3-5 cm) in diameter. Blooms from June until frost. Used for flower beds, containers, and garden vases. Planting instructions:  Though they grow in almost any soil, marigolds do best in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by digging down about 6 inches to loosen it. Remove stones. Sow seeds directly into the garden once the soil is warm in the spring. You can start seeds indoors but they germinate so easily outside that there’s really no advantage. Germination from large, easily handled seeds is rapid, and blooms should appear within a few weeks of sowing. Once the marigolds have established themselves, pinch off the tops of the plants to encourage them to grow bushier. This will keep the plants from becoming leggy and will encourage more blooming. Marigolds don’t require deadheading, but if dying blossoms are regularly removed, it will encourage the plant to continue blooming profusely. Do not water marigolds from overhead. Water at the base of the plant. Do not fertilize marigolds during growth.
