- GARDENING: Marigolds add vibrant color to your garden
-
Marigolds have beautiful full blooms, they come in beautiful shades of orange and yellow. They germinate relatively quickly and will remain in bloom for about 8 weeks. They attract bees and other pollinators, so they are ideal for helping keep our pollinators fed and happy. Ladybugs, another beneficial insect are also attracted to this flower. They are known for their natural insecticide properties and can keep away unwanted insects like white flies and tomato hornworms. They can even work against soil pests such as nematodes. French marigolds can be the most effective at this.
