Love these marigolds - my favourite variety

Good height and very colourful. Flowers not a big as expected. Will use them again though.

Just what I wanted. Tall open flower, something of the old- fashioned, but a touch of exotic too.

Were slow to grow at first but I may have sowed too early (March) however they are now blooming and are such a fantastic vibrant colour.

My favourite Calendula for depth of colour; really striking. Grew some in large containers together with Centaurea cyanus 'Black Ball' – delighted with the colour combination.

I haven’t had much luck with seeds but these have taken and some have now flowered so I am very pleased.

Planted a bit late and only just grown to around 10 cms. Probably wont flower.

Some came up as ‘original’ looking marigolds - rather than the black prince dark centre but not many.

These always look stunning and have a long flowering period.

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Ruth

Well-packaged but when planted out, took ages to start growing and are not particularly robust plants. Last year, I bought some seedlings that someone had grown using Sarah Raven seeds, which grew into flourishing plants, with beautifully-coloured flowers (the reverse of which were a deep bronze). This year’s plants are just not as good, and the flowers are disappointing, too: smaller and the reverse of the petals is not such a good colour.

The plants were 'blooming' jmagnificent - best marigolds I have ever seen. My soil needed to be a bit better to keep them going so I will get working on that..

Very chunky large plants, excellent quality. Well packed in their little plastic containers. Performed very well, lots of large double orange flowers.

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Diana

Plants are pathetic, poor spindly growth despite pinching out. Flowers are very small, almost unrecognisable as calendula, and dirty yellow, definitely not like Indian Prince. I grew them to make my calendula cream, which is now impossible this year. Very disappointed.

Superb Seekings the seedlings have outdone themselves, as long as seed heads removed they have flowered continually, look fabulous in my tiny new garden.sadly the app review link doesn't work so I couldn't add image. If customer service corrected this it would be good thing.

Really disappointed with these plants - very leggy and too much foliage for such small flowers - not for me.

Arrived carefully packaged five healthy seedlings. Thrived all summer and were a good choice given the heat this year. Teamed them with salvias (bought at the same time),totally tangerine geums, and Mels marmalade dahlias, and grasses.

Astonishing profusion of blooms, month after month

Reviewed 13th September 2017 by Tim

An absolute embarrassment of dizzy colour, the deeply rich orange flower heads bobbing away to the beat of the breeze for week after week and month after month. Quite glorious.
I popped about a dozen seedlings in all into 2 island beds, 6'x4', thinking that 6 in each bed would cover some ground...how wonderfully wrong I was ! Even now as Sept heralds the slowing down of the season these 'little' Indian Princes are refusing to bow to any natural cycle and continue to throw little burst of orange skyward having gratefully colonised the space I had left unplanted, foolishly thinking I would need something else to fill it.
They are really a thrill, and utter joy and I am so looking forward to giving them as much room as they want knowing it is I who shall reap the most stunning visual reward.

Deep rich orange

Reviewed 15th July 2017 by Lucy Craig

Much deeper and richer in colour than standard calendula but retaining the brightness to make the really stand out in the border. I mixed them with deep reds, crimsons and Frosted Explosion grasses and they look fantastic (in my humble opinion!).
