Marigolds, the quintessential winter bloom, are now in their prime, adding vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red to gardens and balconies.
This is the perfect time for planting marigold saplings, making it a favorite season for gardening enthusiasts.
Traditionally a winter flower, people now cultivate marigolds year-round, and they thrive even in the summer and monsoon seasons.
Beyond enhancing garden aesthetics, these flowers hold cultural and decorative significance, frequently used in festivals, religious ceremonies, and home décor.
In the season of spring (Fagun), yellow marigolds beautifully complement traditional sarees, adding to their charm.
At the Pecahar Dwip Monglapara Home Garden along Cox’s Bazar Marine Drive, marigold saplings are currently in high demand.
Cox’s Bazar Life captured the blooming marigolds, now on sale for International Mother Language Day.
With the upcoming observance, demand for flowers has surged, making marigold cultivation a thriving seasonal business.
