Those are marigolds correct? If so... they are going to die once all blooms die, you will need to replant them every year

### Joana commented on 2024-10-06

So I have to throw it away when it dries completely

#### Plant lover 2000 replied on 2024-10-06

Yes

My African marigolds bloom multiple times and are very hardy for marigolds.

#### Joana replied on 2024-10-06

Then I can leave them as they are and they will bloom when they should

They drop seeds and will come back when the seeds sprout and when winter comes the seeds will sprout in spring.

Thanks

These are usually treated as an annual. You can collect the seeds and try sowing them in early spring or depending on where you are rake the seeds into the spot where you want them to grow. Again, it will depend on the length of you growing season.
