Marigold Planting and Care

• Marigolds need plenty of sunlight (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight) and do well year round in warm to hot weather.
• Although they grow in almost any soil, marigolds thrive in moderately fertile, well-drained soil.
• Marigolds thrive in poor soil, and fertilizers often create rich, lush foliage with few blooms.
• Once the marigolds have established themselves, pinch off the tops of the plants to encourage them to become more bushy. This will keep the plants from getting long and encourage more flowering.
• They don’t require a dead head, but if the dying flowers are removed regularly, it will encourage the plant to continue to bloom profusely.
