Ideal for both beginners and experienced growers, these frilly-edged pale lemon flowers provide long-lasting beauty for patio pots, pathway edges, and garden borders throughout the summer months.

FAQs
When is the best time to sow Marigold 'Daisy Wheel Lemon' seeds?
Seeds should be sown in the spring once you can provide the necessary warmth for germination.
Can I grow these in full shade?
No, these marigolds require a full sun position to produce their characteristic vibrant blooms.
How far apart should I plant them?
You should space the plants 30cm (12 inches) apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy growth.
Why is deadheading important?
Deadheading removes spent flowers, which prevents the plant from going to seed and encourages it to bloom again.
Is this variety frost-hardy?
No, Marigolds are tender annuals and should only be moved outdoors once all risk of frost has completely passed.
How many seeds come in the packet?
Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
Troubleshooting
Seeds failing to germinate
Ensure the propagation environment remains between 21-25C and check that the compost has not dried out.
Leggy or weak plant growth
This is typically caused by a lack of sunlight. Relocate the pots or beds to an area with more direct sun exposure.
Reduced flowering mid-summer
The plant is likely prioritizing seed production. Resume a strict deadheading schedule to redirect energy back into flower formation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, sow the seeds in the spring by placing them on the surface of quality seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite to retain moisture. The seeds require consistent warmth, ideally between 21-25C (70-77F), and should germinate within 7 to 21 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, move them to a slightly cooler environment to harden off before transplanting them outdoors. Ensure they are spaced 30cm apart in a site with full sun. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the soil consistently moist, especially for container-grown plants, and remove faded flowers regularly to encourage the plant to produce new buds.
