Growing Non-GMO Bonanza Series French Marigold Flower Seeds

Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms. Germinate them in a warm, bright area. Gradually harden off the seedlings before transplanting them outdoors. After sowing and transplanting, the French Marigolds should be watered in heavily to help the roots integrate with the soil. Marigold seeds can also be directly sown outdoors in the garden bed or pot.

Avoid overhead watering, as this can cause diseases easily avoidable with appropriate irrigation. These gorgeous Marigolds will bloom throughout the summer and right up until the first frost. Deadheading them throughout the season can keep the plants looking neat and bright. Keep the area weed-free for beautifully vibrant blooms all season. Adding mulch around the base of the plants can subdue weeds and reduce watering needs.

About Bonanza Series French Marigold Garden Seeds

French Marigolds are one of the most popular edible blooms in the world. Not only are they stunning garnishes, but they are also said to have health benefits that reach beyond their beauty. They claim to be good for eye health and possess antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Bonanza Series French Marigolds have 2-inch wide blooms that will keep coming up all season.

French Marigolds are native to Mexico and Guatemala. They were found by English explorers in the 16th century and brought back to Europe. They quickly flared in popularity from England all the way to northern Africa.

French Marigolds are even easier to care for than African Marigolds. They are recommended to any gardener with any experience level. They have a longer blooming season and are known to better tolerate slightly more extremes in weather than African Marigolds.

Bonanza is the 1999 All-American Selections Bedding Plant Winner. It was recognized for its “unique design”, and “free flowering” ability, and that it is “perfect for patio containers or color bowls”.

Marigolds are culturally significant in Nepal and Mexico, where they are used as garlands for parties and celebrations.
