Marigold Spanish Brocade

WHEN TO SOW

February to April

WHERE TO SOW

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or in a warm place and keep at a temperature of between 21-25^A^0C (70-75^A^0F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 7-21 days.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12\") apart in well drained soil in full sun.
