French Marigold - Favourite - Tagetes patula - Small, charming flowers for glowing beds - Fresh Seeds

French Marigold Favourite (Tagetes patula) is a charming annual plant that has delighted garden lovers for years with its remarkable colour and resilience. It grows to approximately 30 cm in height, forming dense, bushy clumps covered with numerous single flowers featuring intense golden-yellow petals. Its blooms bring joy and warmth to the garden, illuminating flower beds, path edges or balcony pots, lending them an elegant yet natural character. This variety blooms long and abundantly, from late spring until the first autumn frosts, attracting the eye with its colours even on less cheerful days.

Sowing depth

French marigold seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. This is sufficient for the sprouts to break through quickly and for the young plants to gain a strong start for further growth.

Sowing time in the ground

Sowing directly into the ground is carried out in May, once the risk of frost has passed. Warmth and sun are the key to lush growth and long flowering.

Sowing time under cover

Seeds are sown under covers in April. This allows for obtaining strong seedlings that will bloom faster after planting out in the ground. It is an excellent way to enjoy flowers even earlier.

Planting time

Seedlings are planted out in May, when the soil has warmed up and the plants have a well-developed root system. Thanks to this, they establish quickly and begin intensive growth.

Spacing

A distance of 40 x 40 cm should be maintained during planting. This ensures every plant has space to spread and allows for the creation of lush, colourful clumps full of energy.

Flowering time

French Marigold Favourite blooms continuously from June to October. Its flowers develop in the sun and impress with their durability, as neither summer heat nor early autumn chills pose a threat to them.

Cultivation

The French marigold is a plant that is exceptionally easy to cultivate. It feels best in full sun but will also cope in light partial shade. It does not require particularly fertile ground; moderately rich, light and permeable soil is sufficient. Regular watering and removing faded flowers will help maintain long flowering and a healthy plant appearance. French Marigold Favourite works perfectly in home gardens, on flower beds and along paths, as well as in balcony boxes or pots. Its characteristic scent deters certain pests, making it a great companion for vegetables and herbs in a natural garden.
