Interesting Notes about French Marigold:
Marigolds are an easy annual to grow in poor soils as long as it is well-drained. If the soil is heavy in organic matter the plant will over-produce the foliage and under-produce the flowers. They need full sun for the production of flowers, but will take some shade, especially if it is in the afternoon.
