Collection: Marigold

Marigolds bring unapologetic summer color with sunny yellow, glowing orange, warm red, striped, and bicolor flowers. These easygoing annuals range from compact edging plants to tall, statement-making varieties, so check each product page for mature size and flower form. Choose compact types for edging and containers, or taller varieties for borders and bouquets. Plant marigolds in full sun and well-drained soil after cold weather has passed. Regular water while plants establish, plus occasional deadheading, helps keep the flowers coming through summer and into fall.

Use marigold plants in vegetable gardens, cottage borders, containers, cutting gardens, or bright drifts along paths. Their aromatic foliage and texture may make them less appealing to browsing deer and rabbits, although no plant is completely deer-proof. The flowers also add a cheerful landing place for bees and other garden visitors. Whether you favor puffball blooms or pinwheel petals, marigolds are wonderfully generous performers.
