Grew well in Eastern Washington
Very pretty. Tolerated the hot dry summer and my neglect.

desert marigold seeds
I purchased two packets of seeds, and live near Sedona. As far as I know I treated them correctly, but not a single seed germinated. I wonder if these had aged beyond their shelf life. A bit of a disappointment, and probably too late to replace this year.

Pretty!
I threw these out on our bare DCG soil in March (Prescott, 5900 feet, south exposure, full sun). A bunch have come up. They are very pretty and thriving with no water.
