GORGEOUS & FUNCTIONAL TOO!
Marigolds like full sun. They come in beautiful bright orange and yellow and bloom during the Spring, Summer and Fall. The reason why they are so popular is because they add that pop of color in your gardens for a long time. Did you know that there are some 50 species of Marigolds? African or American Marigolds are the tallest & grow 3 to 5 feet! French Marigolds are smaller and grow from 6 inches to 2 ft. tall. Their flowers are small and come in red, yellow, gold and orange. Their blooms are diverse: single bloom, carnation, crested bloom and Anemone bloom.
Enjoy these flowers throughout the warm weather.
After the blossoms have bloomed and die off, remove the dead heads for continuous blooming. Marigolds are easy to grow because they actually bloom better in poor soil so they need very little care. These flowers look great in pots and are ideal as companion plants in vegetable gardens. Their scent repels animals and insects and their root system repels microscopic worms and other pests for up to 3 years!
We'll be getting our Annuals in next week and plan on carrying Marigolds at our Nursery in Plainfield. When you're ready to start planting, adding these beautiful yellow and orange flowers are a great place to start!
