Out of the packet, only about 70% germinated for me, but the ones that grew are healthy and strong. They add a nice splash of color in my backyard.
The seeds took a little longer to germinate than I expected, but once they started, the marigolds grew beautifully. The colors are rich, and the fragrance is subtle but lovely.
The marigolds are beautiful, but they need regular care. I missed a few days, and some seedlings suffered. Still, very rewarding once they flowered.
I bought these for a small gardening project with my kids. They were so excited to watch the marigolds grow, and now our porch looks amazing. Fun and educational!
I planted these marigold seeds in early spring, and they sprouted faster than I expected. The flowers are vibrant, and they really brighten up my garden. Very satisfied with the quality of seeds.
