More Marigold Info and How to Plant

In addition to the cheery flowers that marigoldsbring to your garden, they also attract beneficial insects, such as ladybugs,hoverflies and parasitic mini-wasps, that prey on garden pests. If you sow themarigolds as a cover crop and plow them under before planting, they will repelharmful nematodes.

And there is some evidence that marigolds wardoff cabbage worms from cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

The Naturalistic Approach

To mimic nature, strew seeds randomly throughoutthe vegetable garden, in the open spaces in front, in back and in betweenvegetables. Plant seedlings in the same random, or naturalistic way, inclusters here and there throughout the bed. This method works best with justone color of marigold, which will unify the entire vegetable bed. Use as manymarigolds plants or seeds as you need to cover all the empty spaces betweenyour vegetables.

Create a Border – Marigolds are beneficial toyour Vegetable Garden

Rows of marigolds around the edges of yourvegetable garden present a more formal or orderly feel. Strew the seeds orplace the plants in a single row, or create a more lush look with a double ortriple row of flowers if you have the space. With this kind of planting, youcan choose a random assortment of colors within the same marigold variety or gowith a single color.

Planting Tips

Marigolds require full sun, at least six hours aday. They may need less water than your vegetables, so water them directly onlywhen the soil becomes dry, and let them gather water indirectly from the nearbyvegetables. If you plant from seeds, thin the plants when they are 1 to 2inches tall and leave them 10 to 12 inches apart.
