How to grow Marigolds in Garden ?

I want to grow Marigolds for worshipping gods and most of the time I have to go for the shop and they are not fresh. I have tried in the past, but rats and badicots destroyed, now planning only with hanging pots or containers.

Even though you can grow marigolds throughout the year, the ideal time for growing marigold begins in June. In June, you will have to seed marigolds and in July you will have to repot them in your garden. Marigold starts flowering after October until March.

They are easy to grow throughout the year and doesnt need much work for them. I have grown in the past without any problem, but just you need enough sunlight and also use banana peels that give enough flowers from your plants.
I have attached some of them are grown by other people in our areas.

I will start to sow seeds, but most time I use dried flowers only as they are the decent plants and a habit to me to pick from roadside plants. We see a lot of roadside marigold plants in rainy season.

Thanks for your advice and photos too from [USER=73]@Nomad[/USER] and [USER=61]@shilparamam[/USER] .

Are Marigolds good for beginners? I'm sure my Mom will love to see them in our garden ☺️
