Q. What is the lifespan of a marigold garland?

Answer

Even when planted indoors at the beginning of the year rather than in the garden from seed, their maximum lifespan is usually less than a year. Since they only live for a single growing season, garden marigolds only have one chance to bloom before they perish. In hot summer climes, they benefit from afternoon shade but otherwise thrive in continuous sunlight. They can grow in clay soil, but they really like the kind that drains well all the way through. Marigolds require a moderate amount of water, though, in the hotter months, a user may want to give them a little more.
