Marigolds are hugely popular flowers to grow and can provide stunning pops of bright color in any backyard. The annual plants come in a wide array of sizes, from a few inches to several feet tall, and all can be grown in pots successfully.
A real bonus for marigolds is that they are not just stunning, they are also beneficial. I have grown marigolds in containers in gardens for a show, so the visitors can enjoy their vivid blooms, but also to benefit crops in vegetable gardens as they help repel pests.
