How to Get Gorgeous Marigolds: Zero Costs for Beautiful Flowerbeds
Often, flower growers grow several types of marigolds at once. Most often, this variety includes low-growing border varieties and tall, large-flowered varieties.
Experienced plant growers suggest that in order for marigolds to become a real decoration of a flower bed, you can use not only purchased seeds, but also those that you collected yourself.
The timing of planting is of primary importance in this process.
Thus, the seeds of erect tall marigolds should be placed in the ground already in the first days of March, while for low-growing ones the beginning of April is suitable.
In addition, you will have to take care of the soil mixture - peat mixed with turf soil and vermiculite is best suited for this purpose.
Experienced gardeners advise watering the soil with water to which pine extract has been added, after which you can lay out the seeds and cover them with a 5 mm layer of soil.
With this planting method, you will see shoots already on the 5-7th day.
When picking, plant several border marigolds in one pot at once - this way the bush will be lush. But upright marigolds should be picked one by one - this way they will look prettier.
