Marigolds are garden workhorses known for their cheerful, long-lasting flowers and easygoing nature. From compact French varieties to tall African types, marigolds offer globe-like or frilly blooms in vibrant warm tones. Their distinct scent deters garden pests, making them a favorite for vegetable beds as well as flower borders. These annuals bloom nonstop from spring to frost, thrive in full sun, and tolerate heat, poor soil, and dry conditions with ease. Deadheading keeps them tidy and encourages even more blooms throughout the season.
This section shows how the plant will fit into your yard and into your life.
