- Species and varieties: Tagetes patula, commonly known as French marigold, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It includes several varieties such as 'Bonanza', 'Durango', and 'Janie'. These varieties differ in flower size, color, and plant height.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Tagetes patula seeds are available in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Hybrid varieties are often bred for specific traits such as disease resistance, uniformity, and color vibrancy. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, often valued for their historical significance and genetic diversity.
- Pruning and training: Tagetes patula requires minimal pruning. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Pinching back the tips of young plants can promote bushier growth.
- Fertilization needs: French marigolds are not heavy feeders. A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied at planting time is usually sufficient. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Organic compost or a slow-release fertilizer can be used to provide steady nutrients throughout the growing season.
- Hardiness zones: Tagetes patula is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It is a versatile plant that can be grown in a wide range of climates, from temperate to tropical regions.
- Climate requirements: French marigolds thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They prefer warm temperatures and can tolerate heat and drought conditions once established. However, they do not perform well in cold, frosty conditions.
