Marigold is a very popular flower for religious functions, temple ceremonies and Indian weddings
The flowers will not wither for a week or more after blossoming
Plants grown from seeds are usually taller and more hardy
However there are a number of vendors selling potted marigold plants in polybags which flower in a short span of time using grafting and applying fertilizers. Though the flowers are larger in size than the flowers available in the marketplace, the plant requires a lot of maintenance and will dry up if not watered daily due to travel and other factors
