Sowing Marigold Seeds

Sowing marigold seeds is simple and satisfying. For specific growing instructions, refer to the online product information of your chosen variety. Seeds germinate best when sown into a tray or container before transplanting when seedlings are big enough and the risk of frost has passed. Sow the seeds thinly on the soil surface and lightly cover them. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during germination. With good light, water, and soil, your marigolds will flourish quickly.


When to Plant Marigold Seeds in NZ?

In New Zealand, marigold seeds are best planted from early spring through to late summer, from September to March. Once the soil warms and frost risk has passed, you can start sowing your marigold seeds directly into garden beds or containers. These conditions help healthy roots to establish and support strong flower development across the warmer months. Planting in this window lets you enjoy continuous blooms through to autumn, keeping your garden colourful throughout the seasons.


Are Marigolds Easy to Grow from Seed?

Yes, marigolds are generally an easy flower to grow from seed, making them an ideal choice for gardeners of all levels. They germinate best when sown into a tray or container and then transplanted to the garden. They are relatively tolerant of drought and pests, making them fairly low-maintenance. With care during sowing and watering early on and following the specific growing instructions of your chosen variety, your marigolds will reliably produce bright, cheerful flowers. 


Do Marigolds Come Back Every Year?

Most marigolds are annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one season and won’t return the next year. In mild climates, there is a chance that they may self-seed, dropping seed that germinates the following season. To ensure you enjoy the colourful marigold blooms each year, the best bet is to sow new marigold seeds in the springtime. Kings Seed’s large range of marigold seeds means you can try new varieties each year or stick to your favourite blooms to brighten up the garden.
