French Marigold Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm.
2. Preparation: Choose a sunny spot. Marigolds aren't picky about soil, but they love a bit of organic matter to keep the blooms coming.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. If starting indoors, do so 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
4. Care: "Deadhead" (remove) the spent flowers to encourage the plant to produce new blooms all season long.
5. Pests and Diseases: Very hardy. To maximize pest deterrence, plant them thickly as a border around your most prized vegetables.
