They are almost indestructible aren't they? That's what intrigues me about that. I will have to research some varieties but I will look these up that you have mentioned. And calendula I'll have to look into that as well.

I think I read somewhere once that there is actually a genetic component that causes cilantro to be so distasteful to some. I wonder if it's the same for marigolds? Ha!

Now day... Love the marigolds along with their scent.<br />Now days there are many varieties of marigolds compared to what they had years & years ago. I remember my mom would border her veggie garden with marigolds along the front & back side and on each end she had four O'Clocks of which we would collect seeds from the marigolds and the four o'clocks.<br />Nice thing about marigolds; they make for great companion plants .Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-46458949246611920712020-10-23T11:24:37.962-05:002020-10-23T11:24:37.962-05:00You might give Profusion Zinnias a try with the ma...You might give Profusion Zinnias a try with the marigolds. They are dwarf mounding zinnias and they come in a nice range of colors. It is a challenge down here in the south to keep plants alive and looking good in the heat.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721213501343048506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-21993413802924725332020-10-23T10:33:38.367-05:002020-10-23T10:33:38.367-05:00I like the smell of Marigolds too.

They require very little care and their only natural enemy is the slug. My favorite variety is Durango, but I also love the newer Strawberry Blonde and Fireball for variety and have begun to plant a lot of Calendula which reseed themselves nicely for me.SmartAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219182373225762230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-58809102157814585292020-10-23T10:19:50.895-05:002020-10-23T10:19:50.895-05:00I have always thought marigolds stink!
