marigolds? These don't form stems/trunks that can get trained as I recall. Are you referring to chrysanthemums 'mums' though? If so they can be trained easily into topiaries. Not familiar with the terminology you presented here but mums can be made as a standard, possibly as 2 -3 ball standard, as a broom style (following bonsai style), possibly as pom - poms.
