The number of varieties and types of marigolds is just too vast to list here! They are all perky annuals adored by bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Size, flower shape, and color vary with cultivar, but they are generally in the warm color ranges of yellows, oranges, mahogany, russets, and creams. Foliage is a rich green, is deeply cut, and aromatic. A wonderful companion in veggie gardens.
Grow in nearly any soil that is well drained, though they seem to do the best in soils with some organic content. Water moderately and ideally, not overhead. Fertilize periodically with a complete fertilizer. Deadheading with keep plants tidy and blooming.
