How to Grow Tagetes (Marigolds) from Seed

Growing Tagetes, or marigolds, from seed is easy and rewarding. Start by sowing the seeds in seed trays 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date until late May. Cover the seeds very lightly with soil, and within 1 to 2 weeks, seedlings should emerge.

Once the seedlings have sprouted, they will continue to grow and eventually flower until the first frost. To keep the plants blooming, deadhead them regularly. Tagetes are low-maintenance and very disease-resistant, making them a perfect choice for both gardens and pots. Enjoy their vibrant colors and the added benefit of attracting beneficial insects to your garden.
