It is very popular plant. It will adept to most garden soils. The Marigold Tiger eye is great plant for use in bed and borders .It is common , colourful,  inexpensive and easy to germinate and grow.

Plant your seedling :

Plant your seedling , Now plan the pattern in which you want your flower to grow. I lay mine out in offset rows so they will create a more full flower bed when grown.

                   They will look like they are not going to make it during this process because they are like fish out of water. Water them immediately when finished with the planting . They are delicate at this stage so be gentle with the watering.

Sowing the seed :

   So it's now spring and early summer and you'd still like to plant flowers from seed ! No problem, Just sew your seed directly into the soil. You will still prepare the soil. Gently sprinkle the seeds across the area you have prepared . You are sprinkling the seeds on top of the soil . Please don't try each seed individually , it is not necessary.  After you have sprinkled your desired amount of seeds , gently cover with dirt by sprinkling dirt on top of the seeds . Flower seeds are planted so near the surface of dirt that they are almost not even covered with dirt . Just barely cover the seeds . Now , gently pat down the dirt on top of the seeds. Water carefully so as not to dislodge the seeds. They will gently sprout in 5-15 days or whatever time the package direction state . Keep your seeds watered to help the sprout.
