Not so fruitful as others, but so lovely when they do flower.

I direct seeded into the garden bed. It took a while for the seed to germinate, but they have been blooming for a few months now- do well in the heat and humidity of the deep south. Great seed packaging also.

All seeds in beautiful packages and I appreciated the Ziploc bags for the seeds themselves. When my daughter used to save seeds this is how she did it as well.

Wow! All the seeds germinated in the flat, and although only one survived transplanting into the full south sun garden, it got so big it made up for all of them. The plant was so full of marigolds that I was able to make several little bouquets to put in small vases to decorate the tables at a parish tea party in honor of Our Lady in October 2023. Plus, I have saved hundreds of seeds from that one plant. Planning to give packets to our friends for 2024 season. God bless everyone at St. Clare Seed Co!
