    Customer photo review of African Marigold Seeds - Hawaii

    I started these seeds indoors. They all grew wonderfully. Transplanted them in late spring and most of them did well in my garden. As they have grown, they have had gigantic blooms and are much larger than marigolds purchased in a store. Would highly recommend.

    African Marigold Seeds - Hawaii

    Store owner replied: Hello Paula P. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are sorry to hear that the African Marigold Hawaii seeds didn't perform as you had hoped. African marigolds thrive in full sun and warm soil and generally germinate best when kept consistently moist during establishment. Planting after the danger of frost has passed and providing good air circulation and well-drained soil can also help encourage strong, healthy plants. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and find a resolution. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for your kind words, in our correspondence. It truly means a great deal to our team. We hope to help you grow a beautiful garden for many seasons to come!
