Our flower growing guide is the place to start.
Sow once, flower all summer. Start them at the right time for the longest display — the calendar shows when.
Marigolds are the classic companion in the veg patch, said to deter pests and draw in hoverflies — see our companion planting guide. They're superb for bees and compact enough for our container range, while pot marigolds also join our edible flowers.
Sow under cover in spring or direct once it's warm, then deadhead regularly to keep the flowers coming. They ask for little — full sun and the odd water (our watering guide helps) — making them perfect for first-time growers and children.
Planting a potager? Dot marigolds through veg beds for colour, pollinators and pest control in one.
