Product Details
At just 12" tall, these rich-colored gems are great for borders, rock gardens, or containers, and attract pollinators and other beneficial insects. The flavor and scent of the edible leaves and flowers is floral, citrus, and spicy. Signet marigolds have long been used to add flavor and color recipes. Infuse in oil and vinegar for a salad dressing, or chop and use as you would tarragon. Fairly drought tolerant. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Great service. I won't be planting the seeds until Spring, but I have every confidence they'll do great.

Great germination rate! Once we thinned out the seedlings, the biggest seedlings really started to take shape super quickly. Can't wait for the first blooms.
