French Marigold Double (Tagetes Patula nana Brocade mix) 100 seeds (#995)

An interesting mixture of dwarf marigolds (20-25 cm), with a compact, bushy habit and large full, milled, two-color, red-yellow, orange and yellow flowers.
It blooms from late spring until frost.
For best growth, marigolds require full sun and well drained, rich soil. Regular deadheading will help plants look and flower their best. French marigolds are great for mixed plantings and containers. As an added benefit, research suggests that marigold roots emit a substance that deters root nematodes, so they make fine companion plants for nematode-susceptible vegetables.
Approximately 100 seeds in 1g packet.
