Water: During planting, water marigolds 'Zenith Lemon Yellow' regularly, especially in sunny conditions, to prevent soil dryness. Established plants tolerate drought but should be watered weekly for vibrant blooms. Adjust watering based on environmental conditions, avoiding water accumulation to prevent root rot. Newly sprouted seedlings may need misting in heat.

Fertilize: Marigolds 'Zenith Lemon Yellow' adapts well with minimal fertilizer unless soil is poor. For extended blooms, topdress during summer and apply specific Compositae fertilizer in the evening. Dilute this fertilizer 15 days pre-bloom for nutrient storage. Post-bloom, spray 0.5% MKP on leaves.

Pruning: Marigolds 'Zenith Lemon Yellow' features bright lemon-yellow blooms and benefits from timely pruning in early spring. Regular deadheading and removal of damaged stems promote air circulation and reduce diseases. Pinching back new shoots encourages bushier growth, while seasonal pruning supports healthier plants and more prolific blooming.

Propagation: Marigolds 'Zenith Lemon Yellow' propagation occurs via spring/summer sowing or summer cuttings. For cuttings, take a 3-5 in shoot, remove lower leaves, plant in soil, water, and shade. Roots develop in two weeks; then shift to sunlight for optimal care, leading to blooms in about one month.
