Growing and harvesting this variety
Position plants in sun in soil where rainwater drains away. Sow indoors in spring and gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor air. Plant out after night frosts. During drought, water directly at the roots and cut off spent flower heads. Tall Tagetes erecta may need support.
Cut flowers for small bouquets when freshly open. To save your own sowing seed, let a few heads dry out completely and store the dry seed from each plant with a label.
