Not all marigolds are created equal!
✅ Go heirloom: These bad boys stay true to type

Pro Tip: African marigolds = big blooms French types = seed-making machines!
Let those flowers LIVE!
🔸 Stop deadheading by late summer
🔸 Watch petals dry into crispy brown nug
🔸 Sneak peek: Spot tiny arrowhead shapes at bloom's base? That's your future seed!
Timing is EVERYTHING:
"But how do I know they're ready?"
→ Seeds detach easily when dry
