African Marigolds are strong feeders requiring 
plenty of food and water. Plant them in that 
part of your garden having the richest soil. French 
Marigolds on the other hand are very light feed- 
ers and require a very small amount of water. 
Too much food and too much water will cause 
French Marigolds to go all to foliage with no 
flowers.
