FAST FACTS
More Marigold Info and How to Plant
In addition to the cheery flowers that marigolds
bring to your garden, they also attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs,
hoverflies and parasitic mini-wasps, that prey on garden pests. If you sow the
marigolds as a cover crop and plow them under before planting, they will repel
harmful nematodes.
And there is some evidence that marigolds ward
off cabbage worms from cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
The Naturalistic Approach
To mimic nature, strew seeds randomly throughout
the vegetable garden, in the open spaces in front, in back and in between
vegetables. Plant seedlings in the same random, or naturalistic way, in
clusters here and there throughout the bed. This method works best with just
one color of marigold, which will unify the entire vegetable bed. Use as many
marigolds plants or seeds as you need to cover all the empty spaces between
your vegetables.
Create a Border – Marigolds are beneficial to
your Vegetable Garden
Rows of marigolds around the edges of your
vegetable garden present a more formal or orderly feel. Strew the seeds or
place the plants in a single row, or create a more lush look with a double or
triple row of flowers if you have the space. With this kind of planting, you
can choose a random assortment of colors within the same marigold variety or go
with a single color.
Planting Tips
Marigolds require full sun, at least six hours a
day. They may need less water than your vegetables, so water them directly only
when the soil becomes dry, and let them gather water indirectly from the nearby
vegetables. If you plant from seeds, thin the plants when they are 1 to 2
inches tall and leave them 10 to 12 inches apart.
HOW TO GROW MARIGOLDS
FROM SEED
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.
