A plant that needs full sunlight requires at least six to eight hours of sunshine (or more) per day to produce enough energy through photosynthesis.

Most gardeners replant them annually.Full Sun: Marigolds need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive.

In cooler climates, full sun will maximize their growth and bloom potential.
