Thompson & Morgan Marigold Dune Mixed Seeds

Create a vibrant spectacle in your garden with Thompson & Morgan Marigold Dune Mixed Seeds that burst into a lively mix of orange and yellow blooms, each with unique petal shapes designed to resist holding too much water. Enjoy the results of British breeding with hardy marigolds that thrive in containers and patio pots, offering a long season of colour when regularly deadheaded. You'll find sowing simple in spring and, with a little care, these plants reach up to 30cm high and wide, bringing cheer to sunny spots all summer. How to grow: Sow marigold seed in spring on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down. Lightly cover the seed with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 21-25C (70-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged and not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 7-21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When growing marigolds, pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on. When marigold plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in any well drained soil in full sun, at a distance of 30cm (12 inch) apart. Feed and water marigold plants regularly, particularly during hot, dry periods. Regular deadheading of marigold flowers will encourage further blooms to be produced throughout the summer. Product Specifications: Position in: full sun. Height: Up to 30cm. Spread: Up to 30cm.
