Sow African Marigold 'Coco' Mix seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, in a light, well-drained potting soil. Maintain a germination temperature of 68 to 75°F (20 to 24°C) to encourage rapid emergence. Transplant the seedlings to the garden once the risk of frost has passed, choosing a sunny location.

Plant them in well-drained soil, spacing them 30 to 35 cm apart to allow them to grow well. These marigolds require little maintenance, but regular watering will encourage continued blooms. Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms.

The African marigold 'Coco' mix combines aesthetics and utility, beautifying your outdoor spaces while protecting your vegetable crops.
