Mexican Marigold

Small and bold, perfect for growing under tomatoes. Gorgeous stripes of red and yellows, fab for growing round the base of tomatoes.

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in posts 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°C (70-75°F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 7-21 days.
