Mr Fothergills African Marigold Sahara Mixed 60 Seeds

African Marigold - Sahara Mixed

This is a dwarf, compact, half hardy annual mixture with rounded heads. It is excellent value for money variety for cheerful bedding displays, reaching the height of 30cm.

Sow indoors from February to April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant them, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, May-June, 30cm apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from June to October.
