Growing Marigolds Just Became Cool

Growing marigolds this year? These beauties were shared by chef by Sierra Lash on Instagram

In a move nobody predicted, the humble marigold has popped up all over Instagram as a new ‘It’ flower. From famous interior designers, to chefs, to florists and large organic tea brands, the orange beauty is everywhere.

I for one am super excited about the reemergence of growing marigolds because it is one of the easiest and hardiest flowers to grow in Australia over our boiling hot summer. It also has a great fragrance and attracts in lots of pollinators too. And it’s especially easy to grow!

I recently shared some simple steps to grow them at home, or if you are thinking of growing a range of homegrown flowers, you might also like my new Simple Flower Seedlings Guide e-book below. I’ve included some of the Instagram images I’ve seen on social media recently. It’s already inspired me to grow my own this summer!
