Growing Tips for Your Marigold African Crackerjack Mix Seeds:

Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist at 70-75°F (21-24°C) for germination in 5-20 days.

Transplanting (if started indoors): Transplant seedlings into the garden 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed.

Sunlight: Full sun (at least 6 hours daily) is essential for best growth and flowering.

Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but is adaptable to various soil types. Amend with organic matter for optimal growth.

Watering: Water regularly, especially when plants are young and during dry periods. Avoid wetting foliage to prevent fungal diseases.

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
