Mountain Valley Seed Company French Marigold Seeds Bonanza Series

Yes, the blooms of the Bonanza Series French Marigolds are edible. They have a slightly citrusy, tangy flavor and are often used as a colorful garnish in salads or desserts, though you should ensure they are grown without synthetic pesticides.

These are compact plants that typically reach a height of 8 to 12 inches. Their manageable size makes them an excellent choice for container gardening or as a low-growing border in traditional flower beds.

These marigolds are quite adaptable and are suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 11. Because they are annuals, they will bloom from early summer until the first frost, regardless of your zone.

No, these marigolds are naturally resistant to deer and many common garden pests. Their scent and texture tend to deter animals, making them a low-maintenance option for areas prone to wildlife browsing.

The seeds are coated with a thin, clay-based material that makes them easier to handle and see when planting. This coating also helps improve moisture retention around the seed, which can lead to more consistent germination rates.

For the best results and continuous blooms, these plants need full sun exposure. This means they should be placed in a spot that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day.
