    Hi marksman,  I hope that when you plant your seed in the spring that you are successful but I have not been very successful myself with tagetes, no idea why.  Be prepared to buy seeds if germination doesn't occur within a few weeks.  Not as satisfying but at least the bought seeds will be true to type.

    They will be fine Mark, I always use my own dry seeds, they are shades of red/yellow and orange,I dont mind what comes, they are tender so don't start them now, they wont survive the winter, and they will quickly germinate next Spring.
