Listen, in NY I can grow Marigolds like a boss, in Florida not so much... OK none of them grew! 😂  And the ones that did a little bit NEVER flowered at all!

So what I am saying is... the area you live in, your soil, your weather and other factors definitely make a difference on what will grow, when it will grow, and how well it will grow or NOT 😔 grow at all.
