Marigolds are an excellent container plant that don't require much room to thrive. The Durango marigold variety has bright yellow petals with blotches of red, creating a vivid multi-colored display. It grows as a compact, well-branched, early-blooming plant, with 2 - 2.5 inch blooms that arise in tremendous numbers on these small, 10 - 12 inch plants. Marigold plants commonly feature very fragrant flowers, and even the foliage is scented. The flowers are heat tolerant and will bloom from spring through late summer.

These annuals are robust, low maintenance plants that establish easily from seeds. The French marigold produces uniformly shaped plants with dense flowers atop these upright plants. Marigolds are not only ornamental and aromatic, but they are also edible and can even be used to create natural dyes. They also contain pyrethrum, a crude extract that is used in many insect repellants.

Marigolds are a heat tolerant, sun-loving annual flower that can be grown in USDA zones 3 - 10. They can be started indoors a few weeks before the last expected frost, or sown directly outdoors in the spring once temperatures have warmed. The final growing location should be in average soil in an area of full sun, as too much fertility can result in lush foliage but poor blooms.

Marigolds are famous for their ability to attract friendly pollinators, particularly bees, to the garden while simultaneously repelling unwanted harmful insects. Sow 3 seeds per plant to begin growing your French Marigold plants today, and enjoy these robust, low maintenance, and deer-resistant flowers in your garden.
