Larger Marigolds Are Falling Over And Crushing Smaller Ones

Question From: C. Nyman - Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
Q: I have gathered Marigold seeds during my travels from approximately 8 U.S. States. While lovely, I'm finding the larger ones are unable to stand alone and fall, crushing the other plants. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A: Too much fertilizer will cause lush growth. That's my best guess. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
