Wow that is huge!
What variety was it? Where did seeds come from?

What's your recipe for growing the large marigolds? I do not have that good of luck with them. I can grow zinnias like crazy, but marigolds don't do so well for me???

Put organic soil down in spring, scatter seeds on top, then water each day and use organic fertilizer once every 2 weeks. But not all are large so its part genetic.

Thanks Keith for the growing info on the marigolds. Would love to have big beautiful marigolds. I seem to do well with the small marigolds, but I struggle with the large bloomers.
