Reviews

Top Marigold

"Great flower, dependable blooms, and easy to grow."

— Dennis C. (5/5)

Outstanding producers!

"Started indoors and moved outside in June. Started blooming by midsummer. Several grew at least 6’ tall with support. Still in bloom during this mild November, even with a drought and no watering. Zone 7a. Be sure to deadhead and harvest the seeds for planting next year."

— Julie (5/5)

Great Seeds

"I really like these Marigold seeds and I liked them so much I got another pack for the 2025 season next year and I can't wait to start them in the spring time."

— Jimmy B. (5/5)

Helping the Vegetable Garden

"I received this product for free from Influenster and Ferry-Morse in exchange for my honest review. I had read that marigolds are good in vegetable gardens so am excited to plant these and see if it helps as we don’t use any other bug/deer repellants in our garden."

— Amandas828 (5/5)

Beautiful

"All the seeds germinated and a strong and beautiful plant is growing. I hope the seeds sprout, grow and begin to bloom. I love the smell they give off, it reminds me of my traditions since we use the cempasuchil flower as part of our offerings for our deceased."

— Abigaill94 (5/5)

Beautiful flowers!

"I started the marigolds in my outdoor garden along with some tomato plants. Every marigold sprouted, grew into a healthy viable plant and are now transplanted along with the tomatoes into their garden. I'm very pleased. The marigold flowers are very vibrant and eye catching colors. It was easy to grow these marigold flowers and very little maintenance required. We do water them everyday and they require about 6 hours of sunlight. They look beautiful in my garden."

— Reginak7 (5/5)

Easy to plant

"My toddlers loved helping me plant these marigolds. They are easy to plant and we can't wait until we start seeing our work payoff when they start sprouting. I'm hoping to have some nice full size marigolds ready for El Dia de los Muertos. We planted in some starter pots."

— Moneymomma18 (5/5)

Beautiful and easy flowers

"These germinated very quickly and were beautiful with such an amazing smell! They were doing great until we got a huge heat wave and despite frequent watering they still died :("

— Alyssawolf55 (5/5)

Great for small spaces,these seeds

"Great for small spaces,these seeds sprout within days and produce second pairs of leaves in 3-5 days.I love these flowers because it symbolizes the dead in my culture."

— Romeo V. (5/5)

Fast germinating, healthy seeds

"These seeds germinated super quickly and were easy to plant. They’ll be fun to see bloom as summer continues. I look forward to seeing the size and colors of the blooms. Packaging was simple and had easy to follow directions."
