Info: Annual. Marigolds are among the most popular and commonly grown summer flowers due to their variety, hardiness, and beauty. Their long-lasting blooming period is particularly appreciated. Height approx. 25 cm.
Care: Lay the seed tape in a furrow of about 1 cm deep in a seed or balcony box, cover lightly with soil, press gently, water, and keep moist thereafter. Proceed in the same manner for sowing in mid-April in the cold frame or directly in the open field in mid-May. Always pinch off wilted flowers to prevent seed formation and encourage new blooms.
Use: This low mix is ideal for balcony and window boxes, as a bedding and border plant.
Gardener's Tip: The seeds are spaced at the final distance in the seed tape, so thinning is unnecessary. The paper disintegrates into humus in the soil. They bloom more profusely on poor soils. Therefore, do not fertilize.
Sowing: Pre-culture: February - April; Outdoors: May - early June
Germination: 10 - 14 days at 18 - 22°C
Location: Sunny
Bloom: June - October
Sowing made easy
Some of you may ask what a 'seed disc' or 'seed tape' is. The answer: It is the easiest way to garden! If you have little experience or little time, blooming tapes, discs, or plates are just right for you. The optimal spacing of the seeds is already 'pre-programmed', so you no longer have to painstakingly thin the seedlings. Just fill a pot with soil, place the seed disc on top, water it, and cover it with soil - perfect sowing.
It's just as easy to use in your garden outside.
Seed discs are suitable for clay or plastic pots. Seed plates of 10 x 80 centimeters are cut to fit balcony boxes.
Regardless of the size, proceed as described: soil, seed plate, water, soil. Our tip for your balcony is the seed plate 'Balcony Box Seed Carpet'.
Of course, there are also seed discs and seed plates for the herb garden, as well as larger seed tapes, for example, 6 meters, for your garden.
For your peace of mind, the paper of the seed tapes decomposes completely without residue!
