Marigolds do best in rich, well draining soil that remains moist, though once established can be somewhat drought tolerant as well.

Dried, spent blooms can be stored in a dry, cool location that gets minimal exposure to sunlight, & if planted, the seeds in the seed heads can produce additional marigolds the following year.
