FAQs

Discover more about our French Marigold Bonita Seed Mixes.

When to sow French marigold seeds?

French marigold Bonita seeds are best started indoors between February and May, kept warm at around 15-20°C, where they’ll sprout in about a week or two. Once the risk of frost has passed, you can move your French marigold plants outside, spacing them about 20-30cm apart in a sunny, well-drained spot. If you prefer, you can also sow the seeds straight into your garden from May, just remember to thin out the seedlings so they have enough room to grow happily.

Do French marigolds repel pests?

French marigolds help keep pests away with their strong smell. They repel pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and nematodes that can harm plants. Their roots also protect nearby plants by preventing harmful pests from entering the soil. They're great for planting near vegetables to naturally preserve them.

Do French marigolds come back each year?

French marigolds, including varieties such as Bonita, are typically grown as annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season and do not return year after year. However, they often self-seed, so new plants may grow the following season from dropped seeds.
