What happened to my marigolds??
« on: October 13, 2006, 12:48:01 »
Bought a packet of ordinary African giant marigolds from Kings last
year....they germinated well....but hav'nt flowered....it's the size of
them that's a bit baffling....some are over 9ft high!!
Any ideas? Cheers.

Good grief. Grew them a few years ago but never had them that high!!! Will be interested if you find out why.

Now that is weird... but it did say giant on the packet... a lot of really big plants never get round to flowering... perhaps too much nitrogen in the soil?

I was thinking the same saddad....put them in with the asparagus...plenty of muck in there!!

Did they keep weeds at bay?
