Marigolds have cheery, pom-pom, anemone, or daisy-shaped inflorescences in colors ranging from yellow and gold to orange, red, and mahogany. Some unique cultivars have striped, bicolor, or creamy white blooms. The two main species grown in home gardens are the French marigold (Tagetes patula) and the African marigold (Tagetes erecta). French marigolds are more compact in stature, with smaller flowers. African marigolds are much larger, with blooms up to 4 inches across.

Marigolds require full sun and grow best in well-drained, loamy soil. Prepare flower beds by incorporating matter and cultivating the soil to 6 inches deep. For best results, amend the soil prior to planting according to the results of a soil test. For more information on submitting a soil sample for testing, see HGIC 1652, Soil Testing. Marigolds prefer a slightly acidic soil. However, at a soil pH below 5.5, marigold leaves may develop a bronze speckled appearance due to manganese or toxicity.
