FREE: Marigold seed

The listing, Marigold seed has ended.

Standard size (1 yard high) mixed color marigold seeds. I supply very generous number of seeds. Some are all yellow, some are bronze and some are somewhere in between... all are absolutely beautiful. Marigolds are considered companion plants that keep insects away.

Marigolds like full to partial sun and seeds can be directly sowed into your flower garden, or seeded indoors for transplanting later. We recommend planting Marigolds in containers indoors, then transplanting them outdoors. This allows you to make the proper spacing without the need for thinning seedlings.

Transplant Marigold plants into your garden after the last frost date for your area. Spacing depends upon size with miniature varieties spaced four to six inches apart, and Giant varieties one to two feet apart.

You can even make an insect repellent spray from these plants. Simply place some Marigold foliage (and Nasturtiums if you have any) in a blender with hot water to cover, whiz to make soup and then allow the mixture to "steep" for a few hours or overnight. Strain the solids from the fluid, dilute at 1:5 with water and add 1/2 tsp of dishwashing soap (think Dawn) then spray on the plants affected.

This is good for removal of thrips, spiders, mites, aphis and a host of others. If there is also a problem with deer, add a very hot pepper like a Habernero to the foliage before whizzing. Remember to wear gloves and long sleeves when misting.
