Planting & Growing Instructions

When to Plant:

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date in your area or sow directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. These early blooming marigold seeds thrive in warm weather and full sunlight.

How to Plant Marigold Crackerjack Flower Seeds :

1. Start Indoors: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting trays filled with well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
2. Transplant Outdoors: When seedlings are 2-3 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.
3. Direct Sowing: If planting directly in the garden, sow seeds ¼ inch deep and cover lightly with soil. Thin seedlings as they grow to ensure proper spacing.

Sun & Water Requirements:

• Sunlight: Marigolds thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained. Once established, marigolds are drought-tolerant.

Blooming & Maintenance:

• Bloom Time: Expect blooms from early summer through fall. Deadheading spent flowers encourages more blooms and extends the flowering season.
