  • Marigolds are easy to grow and ideal for beginners. Sow seeds indoors into modular trays or pots using peat-free organic compost, lightly covering the seed. Keep warm and moist until germination.

    Harden off young plants and plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Marigolds thrive in full sun and are well-suited to pots, raised beds, and the vegetable garden.

    Sow indoors: March to May

    Plant out: May to June

    Flowering time: June to November

    Check out our Grow & Cook section for more growing tips.

  • The fragrant petals have a peppery, citrusy flavour and are best used sparingly. Add to salads, rice dishes, sauces, or use as a bright edible garnish. Marigolds can also be infused into oils or vinegars, or brewed into a gentle herbal tea with honey and lemon, traditionally enjoyed for relaxation and digestive support.
