How do you store marigold seeds for next year?
In an envelope. That's the usual way.





Last year I stored mine in the soil where they fell. Worked really well. Now have wonder blooms continuing.
Reply:Be sure they are dry and then put them in a clean dry container in the dark. They are easy to keep and reseed.
Reply:I put them in a paper sack with a little bit of rice to keep excess moisture away.
Reply:I put mine in coffee cans or clear jars with the lids not on them it seems to me that every time I have put them in a sealed container something is moist and the seeds start to mold so I like the idea of the clear jars because I can see whats in it and tell what it is and I always like to put a picture in it so I know what variety it is, the coffee cans are good because of the size.
