Very heat tolerant

I planted these in a west-facing parking strip in August and now, a month later, they are lovely in bloom. They survived a 10 day record- breaking heatwave just now with no wilted or browned leaves.

Picture perfect!

Packaged extremely well. Very healthy. Mine have grown to look as good if not better than the pictures!

Gorgeous

BIG BEAUTIFUL BALLS OF SUNSHINE! This will not be the last time I purchase these! I wish they were in other colors besides orange and yellow, I would purchase every color!

Inca II Yellow African Marigold

The Inca II Yellow African Marigold arrived intact, was a very nice size, and had a bloom opening with a couple of other buds. Very happy with this purchase!
