Some seeds germinated quickly, others took longer, but eventually, I had a decent patch of purple marigolds. Soil quality seems to make a difference. Overall, happy with the final display.
I tried these in containers and they thrived! The purple marigolds are eye-catching and perfect for my patio. Definitely planning to plant more next season.
The seeds were packaged well and arrived on time. The flowers are taller than I imagined, and the purple petals have a lovely texture. They make a nice border in my garden bed.
I planted these seeds in early spring and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they sprouted. The purple blooms are stunning and really brighten up my garden. Easy to grow and maintain. Highly recommend for any beginner gardener!
Seeds germinated well and produced healthy flowers. I wish they were slightly more prolific, but the color and resilience make up for it. Would buy again.
