Marigolds will bloom from mid-summer until the first frost. They give off a pungent odor that adds a lovely smell to any outdoor garden plus, the aroma of marigolds are not favored by many garden insects making them a natural companion plant in vegetable gardens to keep insects away. Marigolds are very easy to grow from seed, start indoors and transplant outdoors after the first frost for best results. (right) My White Marigolds in late August 2009. Growing Tips: White Marigolds prefer full to partial sun and water as needed. Remove dead flower blooms to encourage new growth.
