Tagetes spp., commonly known as marigold, is a bright, easy-to-grow annual valued for its bold yellow, orange, and red blooms that provide long-lasting color from spring through fall. Its compact to bushy growth habit makes it ideal for garden beds, borders, and containers, while also helping deter certain garden pests. Marigolds are reliable performers in warm climates and are widely used for seasonal color in both residential and commercial landscapes.
Care Needs:
• Light: full sun
• Water: moderate; allow soil to dry slightly between watering
• Pruning: deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering
• Fertilizer: apply a light balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during growing season
