Marigold (Calendula officinalis) Buddy Pack

Marigolds have traditionally been used as a border plant for prized display and vegetable gardens.

MARIGOLD

Marigold (Calendula officinalis) has traditionally been used as a showy border plant in precious display gardens because of its insect repelling abilities. Marigold deters beetles and leaf hoppers, Mexican bean beetle and bad nematodes.

Marigolds bolster the strength of plants that grow around them and are a great addition to compost after they have died back. French marigold produces a chemical in its roots that is such a strong insecticide that its effects linger for years after they have died back.

The jolly orange flowers of marigolds are welcome bright addition to any garden. They have a gentle fragrance and as part of a companion guild will act as part of the frontline defence for your garden beds.
