Growing Duration: Cut Marigolds are annuals that bloom profusely from summer through fall. Plants begin flowering approximately 8 to 10 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: These Marigolds are known for their large, double flowers that can reach up to 4 inches in diameter. The vibrant colors and abundant blooms make them an excellent choice for both gardens and cut flowers. In addition to their ornamental beauty, Marigolds are known for their pest resistance and ability to attract pollinators to the garden.
Lighting: They prefer full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure the plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Marigolds are fairly drought tolerant once established, but prefer regular watering during dry periods to maintain continued flowering. Keep the soil lightly moist, but well drained.
Pests: Marigolds are resistant to most pests, but can occasionally be affected by mites and thrips. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Marigolds are sensitive to cold and do not tolerate frost well. It is recommended to sow them after the risk of frost has passed in spring.
Substrate: A well-drained, slightly fertile substrate is recommended. Marigolds are adaptable plants that can grow in poor soil, but a soil enriched with compost will give better results.
Harvest: Marigold flowers are ideal for cutting and using in floral arrangements. To prolong blooming, cut off spent flowers regularly. Marigolds are also excellent for drying and using in long-lasting decorations.
