French Marigold
250 Seeds
French Marigold is an easy-to-grow annual that makes an excellent first gardening adventure for children. In fact, my first seed saving experience was helping my grandmother collect the seeds off her heirloom marigolds when I was barely more than a toddler. Short, 6 to 8-inch-tall plants bloom profusely in vibrant shades of orange and red. Lace-like, dark green foliage has a distinct scent that is rumored to repel rabbits and the roots have been demonstrated to repel nematodes. Blooms summer through fall. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
