Marigolds

Marigolds are flowers that can be harvested from a flower patch after planting marigold seeds. They are used to make imp repellent or as protection payment for hammerstone hops (x1). Fully grown marigolds will protect potato, onion, and tomato plants in neighbouring allotments from disease.

Marigolds have very limited practical uses. The most productive use of marigolds (once harvested) is to add them to a compost bin to make regular compost. Players can also use it to make impling jars, but the process is complex, slow, and there are easier ways to obtain them.

• According to the book Gielinor's flora - flowers, marigolds produce a pungent scent that repels many common insects and small herbivores. In addition, they produce toxic chemicals in their roots; despite this factoid, marigolds don't have any negative effects in-game.
