Care
Dwarf marigold seeds are planted in prepared soil located in full to partial sun to the depth of 1/8 inch. Keep the soil moist while germinating. Seedlings begin to appear in about a week if the temperature stays above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If planting starts from a garden center, space the dwarf marigolds eight inches apart. Pinch off the dying flowers to promote the production of more flowers.
