Beautiful flowers

"These flowers grew quickly and produced plenty of colorful blooms. A great way to add cheerful colors outdoors. Definitely recommend planting this to spruce of your garden!"

— Aaliyah H. (5/5)

Working Well

"The marigolds are coming along nicely! I ppanted them as soon as the weather seemed safe and they sprouted really fast! Probably popped out within the same week! I spread them out into various areas in my backyard and I'm excited to see when they fully grow and bloom. The seeds were easy to handle and plant and are low maintenance because I have sprinklers. Doing well in full sun so far!"

— Christina V. (5/5)

Trying my hand at aquaponics.

"Since there wasn't 3 herb varieties left to choose from thought I would add in some flowers. Since i can no longer garden outside, I've decided to try my hand at aquaponics/ hydroponics. I'm using my large aquarium. Hopefully, I will have fresh herbs for my dishes. There is a reasonable amount of seeds to each pack. In the past, I always used heirloom seeds but thought I would give these a try. Will update after my seeds sprout to let you know how well they germinate and grow."

How Does Your Garden Grow?

"Love my garden growing this time of year thanks to Ferry-Morse and Influenster! Quality and reliable seeds are in this package, and am excited to see my little sprouts just a week after planting. Almost all of them have popped up and I'm looking forward to my beautiful, beneficial Marigolds soon. Since my thumb is getting greener, I will definitely be purchasing more seed packets. Directions are easy to understand and the planting guide on the back of the packet is very helpful. Hey, Ferry-Morse, it would be cool if you had an app that I could log my purchases and planting dates in to a virtual garden to help track and maintain my garden. Just an idea. Let's get growing people!"

— Christine O. (5/5)

Magic in a packet

"I am so amazed with Ferry-Morse Marigold Champion Mix Seeds. In less than a week they sprouted. This is the first time I am planting Marigold and I am super excited. The mix seeds were more than enough for two pots. I am looking forward to seeing them blossom. Also, Ferry-Morse is such a budget friendly brand and I am definitely purchasing more."

— Alaska M. (5/5)

Beautiful

"Such pretty flowers. Grow pretty fast and very easy to take care of. They go good with the other flower seeds I got and makes a great landscape. Packaging had lots of seeds and easy to plant"

— Yuliya D. (5/5)

Spring is here!

"Spring is here and I am so excited to start my flower bed. I've used multiple different packs of seeds from the spread before sometimes vegetables often sometimes flowers but they've never disappointed me. The CPAC has instructions on how to plant where to plant and how much to water your siblings until they grow into full-size blooms. I'm so excited to see these Marigolds bloom, as they will provide a much-needed pop of warmth into my flower bed"

— Riya M. (5/5)

Fast growing

"Got these on a whim as border flowers for my bird fountain, did not expect such a fast growth. Planted these in April and already have some budding! Our native soil in my area is literally straight up clay and these guys took to it amazingly, better than zinnias which was shocking!"

— Alisa (5/5)

Bloom and beauty

"Marigold is one of my favorites. Since I live in Florida it makes it slightly easier to grow and keep alive. The packaging was very secure and came in all compact."

— Julie H. (5/5)
