The McAllen Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) is located south of McAllen between McAllen and Reynosa. Commissioned in 1973, it was the first inland foreign trade zone in the United States and continuously ranks among the most active FTZs in the nation.
Marigolds take around 45 to 50 days to flower after you plant seeds, so seeds sown in early April should flower by May.
Healthy marigolds can bloom from early summer through winter. Marigolds (Tagetes spp.), prized for their colorful blooms, are either annuals or perennials, and come in several sizes or growth habits. Enjoy their easy-to-grow nature and long blooming period. Their ability to repel pests while also attracting beneficial insects makes them excellent companion plants.
