How does a marigold plant reproduce?
They seed after there blooms, let them dry on the plant, then put them in a paper bag for next year.
Reply:At the end of the season when the marigolds die off and start drying up, the head of the flower closes up, if you pull the head of the flower off, and pull the actual part of the flower out, there are your seeds for next year. Make sure that you put the seeds in either a plastic bag or some kind of air type container so that they stay dry. Next spring, lay them out for about a day or two to make sure they are dried before you replant them. Marigolds are plants that need to be replanted every year around spring time, so in the fall after you have taken the seeds out, dig out the entire plant and basically throw it away. Hope this helps!
Reply:They have seeds. What you can do is when the buds die off save the bud. Then you open up the bud and see all these white and black pieces in there. Well they are the seeds. You can plant them the next year.
