Description
Mr Fothergill’s Marigold (African) Kees’ Orange Seeds, Incredibly vivid, large orange blooms. If seedlings become leggy before required for planting out, plant deeply and they should also root from their stems.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart, when frosts are over.
• A half hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• The deepest orange we’ve seen, perfect for bedding
• Carnation-like flowers on well-branched bushy plants
