French Marigold Dwarf Double Mixed Seeds

In a standard 30cm (12in) container, 3-4 French Dwarf Marigolds fit comfortably. If you’re using a larger container, you can plant more, but don’t pack them in; they need room to grow, or they compete with each other for nutrients and water. Pick a container that has proper drainage to support healthy growth.

French Dwarf Marigolds are annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season. They will grow, bloom, and die off by the end of the season, so you'll need to replant them each year.

Yes: both are part of the marigold family, but French Marigolds (Tagetes patula) have smaller, more compact flowers and a stronger scent compared to the larger, more upright African Marigolds (Tagetes erecta). French Marigolds also tend to be more colourful.
