Nemotode Control Marigolds, Beneficial Marigolds
from $3.00
$3.25
Firefly Farm & Mercantile Nemotode Control Marigolds - Many marigolds are wonderful in reducing pests and nemotodes, but for nemotode control you want to make sure you have the right marigold species. While all marigolds reduce insect pests in the garden, only certain varieties will help reduce harmful nemotodes. This blend is for large areas as much as it is for small gardens as we have it in all sizes. If you are looking to help reduce nemotodes then this is a blend to help do this. Introducing benefical nemotodes after using these marigolds can also be done. The blend is predominately orange and have various types of blossoms since it is a mix.
If nemotodes are bothering your dahlias, tomatoes, peppers or other plantings, then do give this a try for the season.
Like all of our seeds, this is an open-pollinated plant so you can collect seed to grow your own the following seasons.
