Collection: French Marigold Seeds

French Marigold Seeds – Vibrant Color for Every Garden

French marigolds (Tagetes patula) are among the most beloved annual flowers for home gardeners and cut flower growers alike. Compact, prolific, and bursting with warm tones of red, orange, yellow, and bicolor blends, French marigolds bloom all season long with minimal care. Whether you're planting in borders, containers, raised beds, or vegetable gardens as natural pest deterrents, these seeds deliver reliable, showy results from spring through frost.

Why Grow French Marigolds?

Long bloom season – Flowers from early summer through fall frost
Natural pest control – Repels aphids, whiteflies, and nematodes when planted near vegetables
Easy to grow – Germinates quickly, thrives in full sun, tolerates heat and drought
Compact habit – Perfect for borders, containers, and small-space gardens
Stunning variety – Dozens of colors and series including Durango, Bonanza, Disco, Janie, and Sparky

Popular French Marigold Series

Our collection features top-performing series trusted by gardeners and growers across North America. The Durango series offers bold, uniform blooms in colors like Tangerine, Yellow, Flame, Bolero, and Bee.

Growing Tips

Start French marigold seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct sow after frost danger has passed. Seeds germinate in 5–7 days at 70–75°F. Transplant or thin to 6–9 inches apart in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
