- Ruth B.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/30/26lovely and hardy
First time I've ever started indoors from seeds, and these grew nicely. They transplanted into a bed by the street where I'm trying to grow native California wildflowers -- as the "outsiders," they've thrived and provided some nice color while the others have been slower to bloom.

- James W.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars6/5/26Poor germination
I have sown must of the packet of seeds and have only had just a few germinate. I did 24 cells under lights in the house and got one seed that germinated. The rest of the pack was planted outside now that it is warm, and less than four seeds have germinated.
Every year I grow about 200 Inca Hybrid II marigold plants for the front of the house, so it isn't like I don't know how to grow marigolds.

I’m on year 3 of container gardening, zone 6B. Planted these on Mar 28 and then brought them in and out of the house accordingly until it was time to move out and stay out! A little small but it’s there thriving, ready to help its tomato roommate!
