French Marigold Petite seed mix
Our delightful French Marigold Seed Mix will have your garden bursting with vibrant orange and yellow blossoms! With their compact heads loaded with petals, French marigolds truly stand out among the marigold family. Not only do they boast a charming bi-colored appearance, but their well-known marigold fragrance serves a multitude of purposes in your garden. The strong scent acts as a natural camouflage, masking the aroma of your other garden veggies and protecting them from potential predators and pests.
As an added advantage, these marigolds act as a protective barrier against harmful insects while attracting beneficial ones, creating a harmonious ecosystem within your garden. But that's not all, these marigolds also possess the incredible ability to deter rabbits and deer, ensuring your precious plants remain safe and untouched. Standing at a petite 6-12 tall, our dwarf French Marigold Mix is perfect for planting in raised beds to safeguard your taller plants such as tomatoes, chilis, okra, and snow peas. Not only do they shield these plants, but they also attract ladybugs, natural predators of aphids, effectively keeping your veggies free from harmful infestations.
The best part? Growing these marigolds requires minimal effort, and they readily reseed themselves, gracing your garden year after year with their radiant beauty. Don't miss out on this effortless way to enhance your garden and effortlessly protect your plants.
