Marigolds are now growing at Payne’s Nursery, bringing bright shades of yellow, orange, and gold to the garden. These cheerful flowers are easy to grow, love the sunshine, and make a beautiful addition to flower beds, containers, and vegetable gardens.
Marigolds are also valued for their versatility. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and their strong scent can help discourage some garden pests. Their colorful blooms are perfect for adding a cheerful touch to outdoor spaces throughout the growing season.
Marigolds also have a special place in holiday traditions. In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, marigolds are closely associated with Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), where their bright flowers are used to decorate altars and honor loved ones who have passed away. Their vibrant color make them a meaningful symbol of remembrance and celebration.
