French marigold "Favourite" (Tagetes patula nana) is a single flower variety producing golden blooms that is perfect for lower edgings, containers and boxes on balconies. This abundantly blooming species develops large, single blooms that are golden-yellow and adorned in the middle with subtle mahogany smudges. French marigolds are valued for the very long blooming period, first flowers develop already late in spring, while the next ones until autumn frosts. The plants with a compact habit and 20 - 40 cm in height are commonly planted in gardens and balcony boxes.

Seeds of the French marigold offered in our store are sown early in spring under covers or in garden in May. Young plants may be sensitive to spring frosts and therefore they can be transplanted outside in the second half of May. We advise to plant them in full sun, although they also handle partial shade. They do not require any special kind of soil, any permeable, moderately fertile soil will suit them.

Each package contains 1 g of the "Favourite" single flower French marigold seeds.

Growing instructions and the sow-by date are included in the package information.
