Marigolds are cheerful, compact yellow, orange and burgundy annuals with flower shapes that can resemble daisies, coreopsis and carnations. Marigolds are not fussy. Any good garden soil and a little water during dry spells should keep them happy.
Maintenance: Marigolds are very pest free. In fact, they are often used to keep pests away. They will get powdery mildew in damp or humid summers. Planting in full sun, with air flow, will lessen the problem.
Deadheading will prolong the bloom period.
