Marigolds have a long flowering period. French marigolds grow to only 8-16 inches. The scent is strong and is effective in repelling many garden pests. French marigolds are often multicolored in shades of orange and yellow.  Water deeply and regularly, especially in hot weather.  Mulching between plants will help to conserve moisture. If given an early start, they will bloom throughout summer and autumn. Marigolds are sometimes attacked by whiteflies and mites. Regular hosings will keep these pests from becoming established.
