African Marigolds

Question

I planted African Marigolds in the spring. Can you tell me why they have not bloomed yet this year?

Answer 1

A lack of phosphorus, which is responsible for blooming in plants, could be the issue. If your plant is lacking phosphorus, use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.
