🌱 Looking for opinions on these marigolds. They’re French Marigolds (Strawberry Blondes) noted for their shades of pink. Would people want these or are they too similar to regular Frenchies? 🌻🌷 - ThreadSky

For what it's worth I liked them a lot and would grow them again. I enjoyed the color morphing. My favorite version was this one, but they were all good.

Did any of your plants come up entirely monochromatic? I got a pack of 100seeds of which only two germinated. The above pictured flowers are all off of one plant whilst the other is entirely yellow. I can’t tell if this is standard or I was sold mixed seed???

I did not have any like that. If someone sold seeds they saved from the hybrid they would begin dehybridizing with the f2s, which can be disconcerting if you're not expecting it. If it was a commercial grower it could just be a one off.

Well I’m planning to collect the seeds from both so it should be interesting to see what comes up in the next batch

Those are lovely…and unusual.

I love marigolds and they definitely have a place in arrangements. That strawberry one is new to me. I need to find that seed.

Yes if they are a genuine additional colour but not if they are more of the same.

I've planted them in my garden before, and they do have a unique, but subtle color. Agree with @morleyfiori.bsky.social that the color can vary quite a bit. I got my seeds from Burpee, so don't know if the vendor matters?
