Colorful, mesmerizing and full of grace — marigolds, also known as Tagetes in the plant world, are a staple summer bloom native to subtropical areas of America. Depending on the type, marigolds can grow anywhere from 5 inches to 3 or 4 feet tall and make a great addition to flower beds and garden containers.
These flowers that bloom in the summer will certainly add character and bright foliage to your backyard. Easy to care for and grow, marigolds are ideal if you're in need of some low maintenance blooms. Gardening expert and owner of Breemar Flower Farm, Nicole Dillion tells us: 'Marigolds are the powerhouse of the summer garden. They are extremely heat tolerant and will bloom from Spring through frost as long as you deadhead them'.
