Red Cherry Marigold Seeds

Red Cherry marigold, also known as French marigold, is a beautiful annual flower that also works as a fantastic companion plant for crops such as tomatoes, basil and roses and fights against nematodes, whiteflies, ants and aphids.

Flowers open in summer with vibrant red and yellow-orange petals, making it perfect for attracting the important pollinators to your garden! It is a relatively fast-growing plant that is simple to grow. Remove dead or wilting flowers to prolong the flowering season.

Marigolds are the perfect plant for small containers or pots as well as your garden. Plants will reach maturity 10-15 weeks after planting.

Be sure to protect your seedlings from slugs and snails.
