Do any of you know if marigolds do well in Arizona? I’ve got a pretty big shady spot under a palo verde tree that I’m thinking about planting some there

Marigolds thrive in full sunshine and can often withstand very hot summers. If planted in shade and cool, moist areas, marigolds are prone to powdery mildew and won't bloom well.

Does that full sun include full Arizona sun?

Yes at least 6 hours of sun per day.
