Marigolds are one of the most popular garden plants. When to sow these flowers so that they grow into a beautiful and fragrant garden decoration? Fortunately, they are not demanding plants and, if cared for properly, they do not cause major problems in cultivation.
Why is it worth growing marigolds in the garden? They act as a pest repellent
Marigolds, otherwise known as Turks, reach up to 60 centimeters in height. They are distinguished by a beautiful orange color and a characteristic smell, which acts as a deterrent to some pests such as moles or voles, as well as insects. They naturally grow in North and South America. They are popular and willingly planted garden plants, because they do not cause major problems in the care, so even novice gardeners can successfully plant them. They prefer sunny places and do not mind even full sun. They require permeable, fertile, humus and slightly moist soil. The important thing in growing marigolds is to water them – they require regular watering up to twice a day, in the morning and evening, especially when grown in a place with full sun.
