Germination is VERY fast with good rate. First sprouts after about 4 days. Looks like most of seeds planted do germinate. I would buy this again, but hope plants will self-reproduce next year.

These seeds have a fantastic germination ratio. The seedlings are hardy and plentiful. They haven't bloomed yet, but I anticipate having a yard full of beautiful color this summer for much less money than buying bedding plants. Great value!

I planted these marigold seeds over 3 weeks ago and our now growing to about 5 inches high. I planted around the borders and also in my raised vegetable garden. I can't wait to see them bloom. I read that marigold repels nematodes. I hope the plants will also help repel moles and gophers.
