We loved these, they were strong and beautiful and flowered for a very long time. We put them all in hanging baskets to keep the slugs and snails off them.

Noted for producing large, long-lasting flowers early in the season these compact French marigolds will add a brilliant splash of colour to the front of a summer bedding scheme - and they also do very well in pots and containers. Prefering a really sunny spot, they are more tolerant of drought than most of the other bedding plants, so are a good option if you are likely to forget to water them every day.
Grown in individual plug cells, each plant measures about 5 - 7cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They are ideal for keen gardeners who have a greenhouse where the plants can be grown on until they are ready for planting out in the garden once all chance of frost has passed.
Please note that as we grow these for especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. See above for despatch dates for this particular plant. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually.
