{"product_id":"marigolds-french","title":"Marigolds - French","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFrench marigolds (Tagetes patula) are compact, bushy annuals producing abundant small to medium double or single flowers 1-2 inches across, in a cheerful mix of bright yellows, oranges, deep reds, mahogany, and bicolors (often with contrasting centers or edges), creating a dense, colorful display from midsummer through frost. The plants have finely divided, dark green aromatic foliage that releases a strong, distinctive marigold scent when touched, with a mounding habit typically 8-18 inches tall and wide depending on the cultivar. The blooms are prolific, long-lasting in the garden, and useful as cut flowers or for attracting pollinators while naturally repelling many soil pests like nematodes with their root exudates. These marigolds are a fantastic addition to Utah gardens because they thrive in our hot, dry summers with full sun and well-drained soil, tolerate alkaline conditions common here, and provide reliable, low-maintenance color and pest protection throughout the season—especially valuable for edging beds, filling gaps, or mixing with vegetables when using transplants for an early show.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"6-Pack","offer_id":44848950411373,"sku":"fren-mari-06","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12-Pack","offer_id":44848950444141,"sku":"fren-mari-12","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/MarigoldsFrench.jpg?v=1773700174","url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/products\/marigolds-french","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
