Marigold plant withers away

Though marigold plants are extremely attractive, have a nice fragrance and last for upto a week, these plants do not last for a long time . Even though the plant may be watered regularly soon after the monsoon ends the plant will wilt and die fairly soon. The plant seller will sell the plant at a fairly high price of Rs 50-90 per plant, especially if the plant is grafted, so marigold buyers should be aware of the limited life.

There are very few plants which will flourish in all weather conditions, and only a few plants which will flower through out the year
