African Marigold Flower Seeds

Tagetes erecta — the bold, large-flowered African marigold — is both a stunning ornamental and a powerful companion plant. Strong evidence supports its effectiveness in repelling nematodes from the root zone, deterring aphids and whiteflies, and attracting beneficial hoverflies and parasitic wasps. Plant in borders or as an inter-crop between vegetables. Flowers in 8–10 weeks from sowing.
