Hi, Sorry! I don’t have 2kg of these seeds. I am yet to harvest some seeds. At present I may have a stock of around 10 grams. You’re welcome to purchase them.

Hi, Just wanted to check if it is Annual or Perennial plant.

This is an Annual. Common garden marigolds are annuals, but because they self-sow, sometimes they are mistakenly identified as perennials.

Description

The plant is used in companion planting for many vegetable crops. Its root secretions are believed to kill nematodes in the soil and it is said to repel harmful insects, such as white flies on tomatoes.

Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooms.
French Marigolds (T. patula) are known to be more effective than the African Marigolds (T. erecta) in attracting the root knot nematodes. These may help in control in the garden and vegetable patch.
Plant Marigolds around the vegetable patch to encourage beneficial insects and bees to the garden and assist with repelling other insects such as the whitefly, cabbage butterfly and other pests.
