This came from passed-along seeds, and I have been growing it for three summers. Works out well in the tomato bed. Provides color and may be good for the soil. I always have to grow marigolds with tomatoes, and they have to be Mr. Majestic. I love the name and love the OP seeds so I don't have to buy new plants every year. Great to give homemade seed packets of these marigolds in Christmas gift baskets, because even beginner gardeners can grow marigolds.
