Marigold seeds, also known as Tagetes marigold seeds, are simple and reliable half-hardy annual seeds to grow, making them a popular choice for many. They can be grown in flower beds, but do just as well in plastic grow pots and containers. They grow best when positioned in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Plant them when there is no risk of frost, feed with fertiliser if growing in pots and water well during dry spells.
You can choose your best-suited cultivars from our range depending on what matches your preferences and space best. For instance, French marigold varieties are more compact and feature mixes of different hues, while African marigolds are much taller and usually come in solid colours.
Not only do marigolds add some great colour to your garden, but they also work well as companion plants. Their scent can deter pests of tomato seeds, pumpkin seeds, cucumber seeds, bean seeds, and more. For more information on this, read our blog on companion planting to find out more useful combinations to add to your garden.
As well as growing beautifully in your growing space, marigolds work excellently as cut flowers, providing vibrant, long-lasting colour to bouquets and arrangements.
