★★★★★ Good germination
By Kim (South Florida) on June 27, 2024

I planted these seeds and a few weeks after receiving them. I now have a whole row of these marigolds as it seems that every single one of them germinated. Very happy. Sad to have to thin them out LOL

Very large plant with LOTS of flowers. Blooms in the summer. It does have a pungent smell and is very pretty.
