    Customer photo review of French Marigold Seeds - Queen Sophia

    These marigolds are beautiful! They don’t need much maintenance once they start blooming and most of them have multiple flowers per plant. They have been great for deterring pests and attracting beneficial insects for my pollinator garden. Highly recommend!
