For indoor seed starting:
Sow Marigold seeds 6 - 8 weeks before last frost. Use good starter soil and gently press the flower seeds into the soil and lightly cover. When Marigold seedlings are big enough to handle and after acclimatizing the seedlings to outdoor conditions, transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed.
French Marigold seeds may also be sown directly outdoors after last frost in prepared beds. Marigolds bloom from flower seed in 8 - 10 weeks.

Bees and butterflies love these marigolds. I also love using as cut flowers .

love these. fast growing and very healthy and vibrant looking. planted them in raised garden bed with veggies.
amazing...painted my door orange so had to have some flowers to match....they were gorgeous and keep reseeding themselves...
I first purchased the African Cracker jack two years ago. At first I thought I had recieved thr wrong seed because I had what looked to be bushes instead of maroglods, thier hight reached about 4. 1/2 feet. But suddenly they exploded in blooms. They continued to bloom until our first hard freeze in October. The brillent colors and size won my heart. Very hardy! I planted them in an area where I have had s tremendously difficult time getting anything to grow. They are by far my favorite!! Can't say enough good things about them. LOVE THEM
