Reviews
Very vigorous
"They're pretty drought hardy too, I planted them in our garden beds and I haven't really watered them at all, but they've produced a ton of flowers and have made for very hardy plants. I'm pleased with their ability to attract beneficial insects~ The flowers also made excellent material for flower arranging."
Happy flower 🌼
"We grew then in pots. Very pretty! Didn't keep the bugs away though. Next season we'll grow them in a larger area. I'm learning a lots more about gardening. . . . thanks American Meadows !!"
American Meadows is the best!
"Everything is perfect. We love our flowers."
Happy flower 🌼
"Easy to grow. Very pretty. I learning a lot about gardening from American Meadows!! Thanks"
Came in a bit sparse
"The marigold have come in nicely but the flowers are smaller and don't have that rounded dome shape that is more typical for marigolds. The color is pretty but there are fewer flowers to more greenery than I anticipated."
Beautiful marigold mix
"There are so many seeds in this marigold mix and they sprouted and grew very quickly. I planted a thick border of them all around my vegetable garden. They have been blooming all summer. Very pretty!"
Deer Love These, No probably Rabbits
"My previous comment was probably not right. I jumped to accusing the deer because I saw deer tracks in a few places in the garden. Upon reflection now, there were not enough tracks. The deer probably came along and sniffed the Marigolds then walked away."
Great Seeds
"I have grown beautiful plants from these seeds in full sun. I did plant some seeds in part shade and they did come up but not nearly as large or as many flowers. I have purchased more seeds for next year."
Questionable germination
"I purchased the 1/4 lb bag in 2019 and covered 3 beds with marigolds, plus threw extra seeds on my gravel area and they all sprouted--about 400 square feet of marigolds mixed with zinnias. Gave extra to friends and family. Did the same for 2020 and the only bed with anything is the one where I left the plants from 2019, spread those seeds, and added the 2020 seeds on top of them. I used the whole 1/4 lb bag on my lot without giving to friends because I couldn't get anything to germinate. Disappointed to say the least. It's been a colder spring here in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but at this point, after two rounds of seed spreading (once in May, once in June) I won't have marigolds in 2 of my 3 beds and am scrambling for more annuals to assist with my monarch waystatio since I've got a bumper crop of milkweed and expect a lot of visitors. I've even done extra fertilizing and watering--I can see the seeds since I typically do an above-ground scatter, but no germination."
Beautiful long lasting blooms- but 1/2 grew 36" stems
"This is my first summer gardening with purpose- I scattered the seeds in several different areas to see what the marigolds like in my current location. I also grew one tray of se. . . They seem to do well anywhere. I'm very impressed! I've even moved seedlings multiple times- and they get settled so quickly. They are just SO agreeable! My only issue is that is seems like the seeds scattered are the tall ones and the seeds started in trays are the short ones- I don't understand the mix or what to expect- or why it worked out that way."
