Marigolds are very easy to grow from seed. The seed is fairly large and easy to handle. It germinates quickly and the resulting seedlings are large and easy to identify. Transplanting marigolds grown from seed is a pleasant garden task, as the seedlings have well developed root systems, strong stems and tough leaves.
Marigold seed may also be sown directly in the flower garden. Wait until all risk of frost is past, sow the seed, cover lightly and water in well. Germination outside in the garden will be slower than in the seed flat, and expect a lower germination rate. The marigold seedlings may come in closer together than you wish. The seedlings may be transplanted to other areas of the garden.
Marigold seed is easy to find, usually sold at grocery stores and discount stores in the spring. For a greater selection of marigold seed, consult one of the many mail order catalogs which offer seeds and supplies. There are dozens of varieties of marigold seed available, in a multitude of colors, sizes and shapes.
For more information see our Complete Guide to Growing Marigolds. This great little booklet contains a multitude of facts you will need to grow marigolds from seed. You will find information on almost fifty different varieties of marigolds as well as seed sources of the marigold varieties listed.
