A flamenco mix of bi-coloured red and gold in a variety of combinations. The large, crested flowers range from velvety red with margins dipped in gold to brilliant orange with subtle red flashes. Once established, the weather-proof flowers of Marigold ‘Spanish Brocade’ will shake off downpours and drought, flowering non-stop throughout summer until the first frosts on compact, bushy plants. Perfect for bedding and containers. Height and spread: 20-25cm (8-10in).

Sow marigold seed in spring on the surface of a good seed compost and gently firm down. Lightly cover the seed with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 21-25C (70-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged and not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 7-21 days.
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When growing marigolds, pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching and form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on. When marigold plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in any well drained soil in full sun, at a distance of 30cm (12”) apart.
