- Soil requirements: Tagetes patula, commonly known as French Marigold, prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be loose and rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: French Marigolds thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.
- Watering requirements: These seeds need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water the plants deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Tagetes patula seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in early summer.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) and space them about 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Tagetes patula seeds typically germinate within 5-14 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results.
- Maturity time: French Marigolds usually reach maturity and start blooming within 8-10 weeks after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest French Marigold flowers is in the early morning when the blooms are fully open and the essential oils are at their peak.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers, leaving a few inches of stem. Regular deadheading (removal of spent flowers) encourages continuous blooming. Store harvested flowers in a cool, dry place if not used immediately.
