French Marigold Brocade Mix Seeds

French Marigold – Brocade Mix

This is a sturdy, quick-growing variety that features crested flowers in a range of colours from yellows to reds. It is compact, growing to a height of around 30cm, making it ideal for pots or mass bedding.

Sow from January to April under glass in pots at around 22C. Sowings in April can be made direct into open ground. As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out into trays or pots spacing 5cm apart. Gradually harden off and plant out from mid-May onwards 30cm apart. Dead-heading will prolong life and increase flowering ability.
