Details: How to Grow Marigolds From Seed Marigolds are very easy to start from seed. Their large, easy-to-handle seeds are often used for school projects with children. For earliest blooms, you can start seeds indoors, about 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date, but marigolds germinate quickly outdoors when direct sown into garden soil. You may, in fact, find that last year's marigolds self-seed so readily that it's not even necessary to plant new ones. If you choose to start marigold seeds indoors, sow them on the surface of a tray or small pots filled with ordinary commercial potting soil, lightly dampened. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite, then cover the tray or pot with plastic. Set the container in a warm location, but light is not needed until after the seeds germinate and sprout. When the seeds sprout (it usually takes just four or five days), remove the plastic and move the container to a location that gets four or five hours of good light daily (artificial light is fine). Keep the potting mix moist but not sopping. To avoid damping-off fungus, it's best to water from below, by allowing the tray or pot to absorb water from a tray. When the seedlings begin to vigorously generate new leaves, they are ready to transplant outdoors, provided all danger of frost has passed.
