Growing Non-GMO Disco Series French Marigold Flower Seeds

Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms. Germinate them in a warm, bright area. Gradually harden off the seedlings before transplanting them outdoors. After sowing and transplanting, the French Marigolds should be watered heavily to help the roots integrate with the soil. Marigold seeds can also be directly sown outdoors in the garden bed or pot.

Avoid overhead watering, as this can cause diseases easily avoidable with appropriate irrigation. These gorgeous Marigolds will bloom throughout the summer and right up until the first frost. Deadheading them throughout the season can keep the plants looking clean and colorful. Keep the area weed-free for beautifully vibrant blooms all season. Adding mulch around the base of the plants can subdue weeds and reduce watering needs.

Disco Series French Marigold in the Flower Garden

French Marigolds are every gardener’s friend. They go well with a multitude of garden styles, require little maintenance once established, and are even resistant to light deer grazing! Utilize these beauties in borders, containers, vegetable gardens, and flower beds to repel everyday garden pests. Any Mexican or Latin-themed garden would be insufficient without them.

Companion Planting With Disco Series French Marigolds

French Marigolds are the perfect, effortless companion plant for countless other species. Marigolds are resistant to deer, rabbits, many pests, and most diseases, which makes them perfect for companion planting and bordering your vegetable garden. Many gardeners claim that these delightful plants not only add attractiveness to the garden but are resistant to issues in general; which they impart to the neighboring plants as well. The bright blooms seem to bring in pollinators while simultaneously repelling harmful moths and additional garden nuisances.

About Disco Series French Marigold Garden Seeds

French Marigolds are one of the most popular edible blooms in the world. Not only are they exquisite garnishes, but they are said to have health benefits beyond their beauty. They claim to improve eye health and contain properties such as antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Disco Series French Marigolds have 2-inch wide blooms that will keep coming up all season.

French Marigolds are originally native to Mexico and Guatemala. They were discovered by English explorers in the 16th century and brought back to Europe. They quickly spread in popularity from England all the way to northern Africa.

French Marigolds are even easier to care for than African Marigolds. They are recommended to any gardener with any experience level. They have a longer blooming season and are known to better tolerate slightly more extremes in weather than African Marigolds.

French Marigolds are one of the main decorations in the celebratory festivities for Dia de los Muertos where the Mexican culture celebrates their roots and forebears who preceded them. For this cause, they represent family and multigenerational bonds.

Marigolds are also culturally significant in Nepal where they are used as garlands for parties and celebrations.

Stories From Our Gardeners

"Marigolds are an uncontroversial choice for any garden. They are significant to many people, but they are also easy to grow and offer many benefits to the area they develop in. I recommend them to almost everyone who asks!"
