can marigolds be planted from seeds in the blooms?

Answer 1

Like everyone else, a seed is a seed. Just make sure they are dry before saving any for next year. Or you can just take the dead heads now and scatter the seeds about and a bunch will come up next year.

I had lots of "voluenteers" this year and when they came up, I just replanted them to a better place I wanted it to grown in.

However, one point to mention is that if you bought a "speciality" marigold in a store, you might not get the extact same plant next year from the seed. There is a possibility that the marigold you purchased might have been a hybrid and it might not reporduce the same plant. However, mine all came back this year like the host plant, so I am just mentioning it that it's a possibility.

Answer 2

Marigolds can be planted from the seeds in the dead blooms. You can shake the seeds out and save for next year or I have left the plants until the next spring and then shaken the seeds into the soil. Either way works. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

Absolutely. Very easily done with great results. Want some white marigold seeds?

Answer 4

Seeds are seeds... why not save some money and collect your own. I gather my seeds and store in zip-loc bags but make sure they are dry before you seal the bag. Others I just scatter about now and they all seem to grow.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes you can take the seeds out of the dead flower bud and re sow them

Answer 7

Yes they can, when the blooms die take the dried bloom and crumble them where they are and they will rebloom during their season.

Answer 8

Sure, save the dead blooms.
