Be warned, the seed pods can go moldy if the weather has been unusually wet like it was this year where I am on the east coast. This can lead to the seeds sprouting uselessly inside the pods, which means you cannot save them, as drying them out will kill the sprouts. I still managed to save thousands of marigold seeds due to how pest resistant and prolific the plants are, but don't fret if you can't save them all.

They kind of look like chewed up sunflower seed pods
Can’t look at these the same since that viral lady who got a seed stuck in her mouth.
Best thing about marigolds!🙏🏻🙌🏻🌼
Cool

I try to stop my marigolds from going to seed lol too many now
But they won't grow if they're left outside in freezing temps will they? I brought some in this year.
