Size guide - Pack of 350 Plug Plants 

The most economical way to purchase your plants. Securely rooted, strong plants in mini-plugs of compost. Will need to be transplanted and grown on before planting out ready to flower. Tender varieties will need protecting from frost. Compost volume around 2.3cm deep x 1.3cm square. Foliage height 1.5cm-5cm (depending on variety). Full growing instructions are provided.

Using a good quality multi-purpose compost, pot up your plugs into 10cm pots or 6 cell trays. Once your plug plants have been potted on and labelled, water them in well and grow on for around 5-6 weeks.  Water once the compost starts to dry out.

Keep plants frost free until mid/late May and then harden off before being placed in their final positions when the risk of frost has passed in your area.

Water as necessary giving a liquid feed such as Neudorff Organic Plant Feed as instructed throughout the growing season.

Brookside Nursery Advice help you get the best from your American Marigold plants.

American marigolds, are classed as half hardy but in the UK climate, are treated as annuals.

Once ready to plant outside, these marigolds prefer a fertile soil in full sun and are more tolerant of dry conditions than French marigolds. Place around 10-12" (25-30cm) apart which will give them plenty of room to grow without being overcrowded.

American marigolds produce large flower heads throughout their long flowering season and the fading flowerheads will benefit from being removed regularly to prolong the flowering season. Water when necessary if conditions stay dry for any length of time and feed regularly but avoid watering the foliage where possible.

At the end of the season, American marigolds can be put onto the compost heap to rot down.
