Are marigold plants perrenial?

Well, not technically. Your plants will die. BUT the wonderful thing is you can snip off blossoms as they die and dry them on paper towels then you can break apart the flowers and get a zillion seeds. These seeds can be saved and you can use them next year. Also sometimes the seeds will sprout themselves if you dead head and let the seeds drop in your garden. By collecting seeds each year you can expand the number of types you grow each year with out spending a fortune. Each year just buy a few more types and save the seeds from each kind. You can either carefully label and even put a digital picture on each saved kind or mix them all together and get a surprise. :-D Good luck!

Perennials are plants that go on flowering for more than 3 years. These include herbaceous perennials, ie those which do not go woody and die down each winter, and woody perennials eg shrubs/trees.





Biennials,eg foxglove, put on leafy growth in the first year and flower in the second.





There are such things as "ephemerals", ie they can germinate, flower, set seed and die several times a year, eg weeds

Reply:The french marigolds are not you have to grow them from seed each year but the calendula the larger marigolds come backfor a few years. Of course nothing lasts forever and you will have to replace those eventually. You can collect the seeds from the flower heads keep them dry and plant them in late spring.
