Marigolds are one of the most popular types of flowers that decorate not only street beds, but also planted in private plots
Marigolds are very common in summer in city parks, near administrative buildings and the city center. Marigolds are very well known as a medicinal plant. They have antimicrobial components and are also used as a diuretic for kidney disease. A person who does not have experience in gardening can grow marigolds on his site the first time. This procedure will not take long and will not be difficult. But still, even marigolds require a little attention and a little care in order to grow them.
Before you start planting this plant, you need to choose a place that is suitable for it. For flowering plants, light soil is suitable. You need to choose a place for a flower bed where there is a small shade, but the rays of the sun almost never approach. There, the plant will not bloom at all and may even die. Reproduction of marigolds occurs with the help of seeds. After the site is selected where the marigolds will be planted, you need to purchase a bag in which you will need to collect seeds, which are stored from autumn to spring.
It is best to choose seeds from a young plant that is no more than three years old. If the flower is many years old, then its seeds may not sprout. These seeds can be planted dry in the ground. This plant can live a long time in dryness, but it does not tolerate frost at all. If the temperature in the soil becomes lower, then the seeds, even very dry ones, will die. Therefore, before being planted in the ground, marigolds are grown at home or in a greenhouse, the so-called seedlings. Then, they will be able to gain a foothold, and nothing will stop them from blooming.
Marigolds can be planted without the help of seedlings. To do this, sow seeds directly into the loosened soil. If planted without seedlings, they will bloom later. In the event that special dry seeds are prepared for planting without seedlings, it is imperative to know the time favorable for this procedure. Usually the process takes place at the end of May. At this moment, there is almost no frost. Before planting flowers, you need to fertilize the soil with a mineral fertilizer. After a while, the stems will sprout.
It is better not to leave plants in constant dryness, otherwise the flowers will be small. You should not overdo it with watering because the roots will rot and the plant will die. After some time, you can already start collecting your own seeds for the next season. The plant really does not like low temperatures, and if the summer was cold and rainy, this will lead to the death of the plant. In order to prevent plant diseases, such as fungus, seeds should be sown throughout the garden area. Their aroma scares away various harmful insects, and the summer resident can be calm about other plants growing nearby.
Marigolds go very well with other plants in the flower bed. With their help, you can diversify the facade. In addition, they can become part of landscape design. Flowers can be used to decorate a decorative fountain or pool. Lovers and fans of the flower world grow marigolds in greenhouses, greenhouses, and even at home. Many people use this plant to treat the kidneys, and it is also a good disinfectant, almost like chamomile. Sometimes it happens that marigolds grow by themselves. Their seeds are blown by the wind. But this is a very rare case.
They have extraordinary beauty and elegance, especially in the interior of the garden near the house. Marigolds bloom very beautifully along the park alleys, creating positive impressions for people. Among summer residents, this plant is popular because it does not require special care and blooms and smells very beautifully. People, wandering along the park alleys, very often do not even know what the plant is called, and that it is not so problematic to grow it.
But there is also a minus. It will not be possible to assemble a bouquet from these flowers, because these plants have a very small, short and fragile stem. Therefore, they are intended only for flower beds and growing in garden beds. The popularity of this plant has achieved great success. Now in the summer, in almost every city flowerbed, you can find beautiful purple, pink marigolds. There is still not a single plant that could not be in harmony with marigolds. Even if weeds grow nearby, marigolds will still stand out for their cute appearance, brightness and beauty.
