How to grow marigold plants?.I mean using flowers or seeds?
These are among the easiest of flowers to grow.


You can start them indoors from seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. But it doesn't sound like you want to do this.


So, sow the seeds directly in the ground after all chances of frost have past. Cover them with 1/4 inch of soil. Keep moist. Thin to about 8 to 18 inches apart depending on the variety.


Or you can buy healthy green plants with no signs of wilting or disease from home %26amp; garden centers.


Plant the plants you've grown or bought when the last frost has passed in full sun in well drained soil. Mulch to preserve moisture and suppress weeds.


Protect from slugs and snails. They love these plants.


Pinch off spent flowers to keep them flowering.
Reply:I grow them by buying them already started from a nursery. I'm just not patient enough to do the seed thing!
