French Marigold Seeds

French marigolds make for a vibrant addition to any growing space. Being more compact than African marigold seeds, these flower seeds are a great choice for those limited on space and wanting some vivid additions to grow. They do very well in hanging baskets, window boxes and grow pots, as well as making great flower bed border plants.

The swathes of warm colours French marigold seeds offer easily bring a garden to life. Marigold seeds such as Marigold Goldiluxe and Marigold Naughty Marietta feature a mix of brilliant yellow and red hues. To take advantage of the full spectrum marigolds offer, we have many mixed seed options for diversity.

Growing French Marigolds from Seed

French marigold seeds grow best when placed in a sunny area with well-drained soil. They are slightly more tolerant of wet conditions than African varieties, so are a better choice if your environment is less warm. They are half-hardy annual seeds, meaning that they can partially tolerate colder temperatures but thrive best in the sun. Keep in mind that you should water them in prolonged dry periods.

When planting French marigolds, it’s valuable to know that they work well as companion plants. This means that these French flowers offer certain benefits when planted near other plants. For example, they emit a scent that pests attracted to cucumber seeds, bean seeds, tomato seeds, and many other vegetable seeds can be afflicted by. For more information on this method, our blog on companion planting details many more useful plant combinations.
