    Customer photo review of French Marigold Seeds - Strawberry Blonde

    I grew these in Texas Zone 8b. I was worried they were the wrong seed because they started out yellow. As the temperature cooled, they became more varied colors of red, orange and yellow. I have enjoyed them very much. I am brand new to seed starting and found growing very easy with great germination rate.

    Customer photo review of French Marigold Seeds - Strawberry Blonde

    Strawberry blonde marigolds are the queen of the garden with their rich hues and abundant blooms. They have become hedge like and are putting on a grand fall show.

    I had success in growing this plant. It's doing very well in this flowerbed. This came from one seedling. I will be planting this next year.

    Customer photo review of French Marigold Seeds - Strawberry Blonde

    Just fell in love with these and how they changed color up into Fall! The deer left them all alone! I'm hoping the seeds I saved will prove the same results, though I was told they probably won't as likely a hybrid.

    None of the flowers look like the photo. They are dull and didnt grow as well as my previous seeds that I have been growing for 5 years . Won’t be buying them again

    How many seeds are in a packet for seven bucks, and why isn't this critical information provided? Is this a hybrid or an heirloom--and why isn't this critical information provided? Who writes these info-less product descriptions, a gd moron?

    French Marigold Seeds - Strawberry Blonde

    These are gorgeous! I started them inside. They germinated really well. My only problem is my bunnies think they taste pretty good. Working to stop that problem. They are a really lovely color.

    French Marigold Seeds - Strawberry Blonde

    Started under grow lights with my other spring garden seed starting and I had fantastic germination! The biggest surprise to me is how compact these plants are! When they say 8-10 inches, mine started to bud up at 4-6 inches. LOVE!
