 Sowing by climate zone 
Subtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g. B. Portugal, Spain, Italy)
Direct sowing from February to October is recommended. The plants should ideally be planted in a sunny location.
Moderate climate (e. g. B. Germany, Switzerland, Poland)
Direct sowing from April to August is recommended. The plants should ideally be in a sunny location.

 General recommendations 
Direct sowing is recommended. After germination, thin out the plants to the specified plant spacing.
Marigold prefers a permeable, moderately nutrient-rich, moist and humus-rich loamy soil. Also thrives in sandy loamy soils. Doesn't tolerate waterlogging.

 Additional tips 
The species helps to regulate the nematode balance in the soil. Sow marigold with cabbage to maintain healthy soil for a long time. To quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and permeable soil with good nutrient and water retention capacity, it is recommended to also incorporate biochar and primary rock flour.
