Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to common questions about identifying, buying, using, caring for, and safely displaying the botanical covered here.

What are French Marigolds?

French Marigolds are sold under the botanical or trade name Tagetes patula. French Marigolds are sold as fresh-cut stems for vases, bouquets, centerpieces, events, and floral designs.

What do French Marigolds look like?

Expect rounded French Marigolds flower heads with densely ruffled petals. Bloom size, orange-to-yellow color balance, openness, petal shape, and stem curve vary by bunch.

Will French Marigolds arrive fully open like the photo?

Not always. Fresh flowers may arrive in a tighter or more open stage depending on the crop and shipping date. Color, petal count, stem curve, and bloom stage naturally vary.

What exactly arrives when I order French Marigolds?

You receive one grower’s bunch. Because a grower’s bunch is packed by harvest volume, we do not promise a fixed stem count. Color, flower size, openness, petal count, and stem curve naturally vary.

What buying options are offered for French Marigolds?

When ordering is open, each quantity on the separate Self Care Shower product page represents one grower’s bunch.

How should I care for French Marigolds when they arrive?

Recut the stem ends, place them promptly in a clean vase with fresh water and floral preservative, remove foliage below the waterline, and keep the arrangement away from direct sun and heat.

Should I put French Marigolds in water?

Yes. Recut the stem ends and place them in a clean vase with fresh water. Change the water regularly, keep the vase clean, and remove deteriorating material promptly.

How long will French Marigolds last?

We do not promise a fixed number of days. Freshness depends on arrival condition, hydration, temperature, direct sun, airflow, and how often the water and vase are cleaned. Follow the care steps above and remove any deteriorating material promptly.

Do French Marigolds have a noticeable scent?

We describe French Marigolds as naturally fragrant or aromatic. We do not promise a specific scent strength; it varies with freshness, temperature, airflow, room size, and individual sensitivity.

Are French Marigolds safe around cats and dogs?

We do not sell this as a chew-safe product for cats or dogs. Keep the stems, leaves, flowers, fallen pieces, and vase water out of reach, and ask your veterinarian about your pet’s specific risk.

Can I eat or cook with French Marigolds?

No. We sell French Marigolds for decorative use only, not for eating, tea, garnish, medicine, skincare, or cooking.

Will my French Marigolds look exactly like the photo?
