- Reta M.MA, United StatesRated 5 out of 5 starsSep 20, 2025Hardy, grew larger than expected
My first time growing a flower from seeds. Next time I will use larger pots since they grew quite large. They bounced back nicely from neglect during a hot, dry spell.

What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Red Cherry French Marigolds exceeded your expectations and gave you such a successful first experience growing flowers from seed!
Your growing journey sounds like it went wonderfully - and what a pleasant surprise to discover these marigolds grew larger than expected! That's such a great "problem" to have, especially for your first time starting flowers from seed. It really shows how vigorous and healthy these Red Cherry French Marigolds can be when they're happy in their environment. Your note about using larger pots next time is such helpful advice for other gardeners who might be planning their container sizes!
We absolutely love that these marigolds showed their resilient nature by bouncing back so beautifully from that hot, dry spell! That's one of the wonderful things about marigolds - they're such hardy, forgiving flowers that can really handle some tough conditions and come back stronger. It's so reassuring to know that even when life gets busy or the weather doesn't cooperate, these flowers have the toughness to recover and keep looking great.
Your experience is going to be so encouraging for other first-time flower growers who might be hesitant about starting from seed! You've really highlighted both the vigorous growth potential and the resilient nature that makes Red Cherry French Marigolds such a rewarding choice.
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review about your first flower-growing success!
Keep on growing 🌻️

I just threw the seeds in an empty part of my flowerbed and they are putting on quite the display. AND the der do not eat the flowers or leaves.

What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Red Cherry French Marigolds are putting on quite the display with such a wonderfully simple approach - sometimes the best gardening happens when we just let nature do its thing!
Your "throw and grow" method really highlights one of the most wonderful things about these marigolds - they're such adaptable, easy-going flowers that can thrive even with minimal fuss. It's so satisfying when a variety proves itself to be that reliable and forgiving, especially when you're rewarded with such a beautiful show for your patience!
And what a huge bonus that the deer are leaving them completely alone! That's such valuable information for gardeners who struggle with deer pressure - knowing that Red Cherry French Marigolds can provide gorgeous color while being naturally deer resistant makes them an even more appealing choice. There's nothing more frustrating than putting effort into flowers only to have them become an expensive deer salad, so it's wonderful that these marigolds give you that peace of mind along with their beauty.
Your experience really captures the essence of why marigolds are such beloved garden staples - they deliver big results with minimal effort and come with built-in pest resistance as a bonus! The fact that you got such a spectacular display from such a casual planting approach will be so encouraging for other gardeners looking for reliable, low-maintenance flower options.
Thank you so much for sharing such a great review about both the easy growing nature and deer resistance!
Keep on growing 🌻️
