Marigold plant (Tagetes erecta)

With their golden blooms and cheerful energy, Marigolds bring a burst of sunshine to any space—whether it’s a cozy balcony or your kitchen windowsill. They’ve got a lively, welcoming vibe that says, “Hey, life’s good.” Plus, they’re known to ward off pests, so they’re not just pretty—they’re practical.

Marigolds are super easygoing. They love the sun and aren’t fussy about soil. Just water them when the top feels dry and they’ll keep blooming their little hearts out. Great for new plant parents or anyone who forgets to water sometimes. 😉

Light: Loves full sun
Water: Moderate—water when top inch is dry
Pet-Friendly: Not pet-safe (keep away from furry friends)
Pro Tip: Deadhead the spent blooms to keep the flowers coming strong!
