Growing yellow marigolds follows similar steps to cultivating other marigold varieties.

Here’s a guide on how to grow yellow marigolds:

Climate and Soil: Yellow marigolds thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. They are adaptable to various soil types but prefer moderately fertile soil.
Planting Time: Sow yellow marigold seeds directly into the garden after the last frost date in your area. Starting seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost can also be done for an early start.
Seed Starting: Plant the seeds in well-prepared soil, covering them lightly with a thin layer of soil. Space the seeds according to the mature size of the plant, typically around 8-10 inches apart.
Sunlight: Yellow marigolds need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering.
Watering: Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Fertilization: Marigolds generally do not require heavy feeding. Incorporating organic matter like compost into the soil before planting provides necessary nutrients.
Maintenance: Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering. Occasional pinching back of stems promotes a bushier growth habit.
Height: Yellow marigolds typically grow to a height of about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters), depending on the specific variety.
Pest and Disease Control: Marigolds are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, monitor for common issues like aphids or powdery mildew and treat as needed with appropriate controls.

Caring for yellow marigolds is quite similar to caring for other marigold varieties. Providing adequate sunlight, water, and occasional care will help these cheerful yellow blooms flourish throughout the growing season.
