French Marigold Seeds –
Panther is beautiful and beneficial, French Marigolds are a premier companion
planting for vegetable or herb gardens, and also make a lovely addition to any
ornamental bed or container.
French Marigolds have a
dwarf, bushy habit, Panther features mahogany red blooms lined with golden
yellow. Bees and Butterflies love them!
The French Marigold is
certainly one of the most planted annual flowers in the whole wide world. They
have a fabulous reputation as a stand out companion plant for vegetables, such
as tomatoes, and are used by cottage gardeners to attract important and much
loved pollinators like bees and butterflies.
They propagate ever so
quickly.
It’s best to plant them
in early-late Spring, about 1cm deep with a quarter of a teaspoon of fertilizer
sprinkled around the top. It’s important to keep the soil moist for the first
10-20 days. The seeds will take 1-2
weeks to germinate. Best of all, they
are very simple and easy for gardening beginners, who will be growing their
first flowers seeds in no time at all
As you can see below,
you must deadhead your Marigolds regularly for a number of reasons, which
include:
encouraging regular
blooming
avoiding the plant
wilting and going to seed
keeping flower heads for
seed -saving.
Ensure that you prick out
their first three flowers, so that the plant bushes out to each side, then
there will be more blooms for the life of its growing season if you do this at
the beginning.
It’s also a green
manure.
All types of Marigolds
are extremely popular with Permaculture and market gardeners, many gardeners
plant them to stop nematodes, cabbage worms, whitefly, aphids and many other
vegetable and foliage damaging insects.
These darling plants
also lure and woo useful insects like praying mantis, lacewings and ladybirds
with their beautiful scent.
I know a couple of
adventurous experimental gardeners who have used the spent foliage at the end
of the season to chop up and turn it into the soil, as a green manure, with the
aim of keeping soil-borne nematodes at bay.
Who can go past bright
colors and scent?
It’s hard to pass by these
beauties, with all their benefits.
HAPPY GARDENING!
FAST FACTS
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: MARIGOLDS
WHEN TO PLANT MARIGOLD
SEEDS: Direct sow Marigold seeds after all threat of frost has passed - it's
recommended that you wait approximately 1-2 weeks after the final frost date.
Marigolds can also be sown indoors approximately 50-60 days before your final
frost.
WHERE TO PLANT MARIGOLD
SEEDS: Marigolds are tolerant of most types of soil, and enjoy warm, Full Sun
conditions. Marigolds do best in rich, well draining soil that remains moist,
though once established can be somewhat drought tolerant as well. If planted in
cool, or moist locations, Marigolds are susceptible to powdery mildew.
HOW TO PLANT MARIGOLD
SEEDS: Sow Marigold seeds directly onto the surface of the soil and firmly
compress. Don't cover your seeds, as Marigolds require sunlight in order to
germinate.
HOW TO CARE FOR MARIGOLDS:
Once planted, Marigolds require very little by way of care. Typically, you only
need to water manually if the soil has gotten dry or dusty to the touch, or if
it's been more than 2 weeks since any sort of natural rainfall. You can
increase your blooms significantly by deadheading your spent blooms. Dried,
spent blooms can be stored in a dry, cool location that gets minimal exposure
to sunlight, and if planted, the seeds in the seed heads can produce additional
marigolds the following year.
