How to Sow Seeds

Method: Direct sow
Growing notes: Sow the Kilimanjaro Marigold seeds directly into the flowering position from spring through summer. Sow seeds 5mm (1/2in) deep and cover lightly. Firm gently and keep moist. Seedlings will appear after 10-14 days. Thin plants as necessary to 30cm (12in) apart.

Keep moist and weed-free. Use garden mulch to keep the roots cool in warm weather. Feed your Kilimanjaro White Marigold with a liquid fertiliser when buds appear. Remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged flowering.
