Red Marietta
Red flowers with yellow edged petals.
Description
French Marigold is an aromatic, compact, annual plant that grows up to 40 cm in height and has showy, fragrant flowers up to 5 cm in diameter. This plant is noted for repelling nematodes. French Marigolds prefer the warm season but will survive cool weather. They prefer full sun, tolerate drought, and should not be over-watered. Well-drained soil is best, and the plant will tolerate both acid and alkaline soils. As a companion plant, Marigolds do well with tomatoes. However, be aware that, due to its allelopathic properties, Marigolds may reduce yields of beans and cabbages.
