Bring a burst of cheerful summer colour to your garden with our French Marigold Plants. Compact, colourful and easy to grow, these popular bedding plants produce masses of flowers throughout summer and are perfect for borders, patio pots, containers and window boxes.
Choose from Durango Bee, Yellow, Red or Orange, or go for our Mixed selection for a bright combination of colours. French Marigolds are also a popular companion for vegetable gardens, looking particularly good planted alongside tomatoes and other summer crops.
Plant your French Marigolds in a sunny position with well-drained soil or compost. Keep them watered during dry spells and regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.
Reliable and wonderfully colourful, French Marigold Plants are an easy way to keep your garden looking bright throughout the summer.

Watering Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Once settled in, the plant is relatively drought tolerant and usually only needs extra water during prolonged dry spells. Plants grown in containers will need more frequent watering than those growing in the ground.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Protect from hard frost and cold, drying winds, especially while young or when grown in containers.
