Whether you're a seasoned veteran or first-time gardener, French Marigolds are an excellent addition to any garden.  Their ease of growth and carefree nature make them perfect for adding color to the garden without adding much effort.  What's more, French Marigold's distinctly scented foliage is prized for its ability to deter rabbits, and its roots have been demonstrated to repel nematodes, which can be a real problem for some gardeners.  Pick up a pack of our premium French Marigold seeds today and begin discovering the many virtues of this beloved garden flower.  Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
