Marigold Planting Guide

Marigold🌼

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Marigolds grow best in full sun 🌞, but they can tolerate light shade. Choose a well-draining, fertile soil for the best blooms.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Mix compost into the soil to improve texture and fertility 🌾. Marigolds prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).

3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 6-12 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 12-18 inches apart.

4. Watering Requirements:
Water marigolds regularly 💧, but avoid letting them sit in waterlogged soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

5. Germination Time:
Marigold seeds germinate in 5-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering 🌼. Regularly remove any yellowing leaves to maintain plant health.
