French marigolds are very popular flowers that no garden should be without. They can be grown in the ground, but they also thrive in pots. French marigolds also help to repel nematodes, ants and whitefly. So why not plant some French marigolds in your vegetable garden between carrots, onions, leeks, cabbages and other plants that are susceptible to these pests? Remove dead flowers regularly. These cheerful, colourful flowers have a very long flowering period, starting in early summer and continuing until the first frost. French marigolds flower from June till October.
