Marigold

Marigolds occupy a worthy place among unpretentious and beautiful flowers. The bright color and lush shape of the flowers are ideal for decorating flower beds and borders. One of the most valuable properties of marigolds is drought resistance, which is why they are most often found in city flower beds.

Marigold seedlings are planted in open ground. To obtain it, seeds are sown from January to March. Before planting, seedlings need to be hardened off. The ideal time for transplantation is mid-May, when all frosts have ended. At the same time, it is already possible to sow seeds in open ground, but flowering should be expected no earlier than after 1.5-2 months.

Flowers will delight the gardener with their most beautiful form in a sunny area, although they can also grow in partial shade. In addition, young marigold flowers need mineral nutrition. Water stagnation is unacceptable. Regular weeding and loosening is very important for the plant. We should not forget about pruning marigolds, which must be done in the summer to obtain lush bushes.
