Description

The best ever bedding Marigold! Zenith is an Afro-French Hybrid, resulting in plants producing more flowers than almost as large as an African Marigold. Very bushy and vigorous plants producing masses of large crested or carnation-like flowers, in a wide range of yellows, reds, oranges and bicolour shades.

Outstanding weather resistance. Ideal for planting en-masse creating the 'wow' factor in borders or containers.

Height: 30-35cm (12-14in).

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:March to April.
Sowing depth:Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Keep at a temperature of between 21-25C (70-75F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 7-21 days.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.

Aftercare Instructions

For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
