    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    These eye-catching marigolds grew in the most difficult space in my garden: poor soil, heavy sunlight, and wind. The blooms are stunning and so striking with their unique contrasts. They look like they will continue to bloom and flourish for many months. Will definitely get them next year.

    French Marigold Seeds (Dwarf) - Legion of Honor

    They are just now starting to bloom. The seeds started quickly and the few blooms which are open are very pretty. I would be able to give a more complete review in a couple of weeks. So far, I am pleased as they are a little different.
