Has anyone grown 7’ marigolds before? My french marigold seeds from True leaf that were supposed to be under 12” are these insane giants that forest out and barely flower. I have been cutting them down left and right and chop and dropping them when I have time. But, I hadn’t tackled my mini orchard where they went insane. Aside from where they could grow up trees, they mostly flop, root along the stem and have densely carpeted this and other areas. I pulled one up and it was well over a foot over the 6’ fence! WHAT ARE THESE??! African marigolds? True leaf market gave me the worst, possibly AI response just saying, “I understand your curiosity regarding the specific variety. Unfortunately, it can be quite challenging to identify the exact type of marigolds based solely on their growth and appearance, especially when they do not match the expected characteristics from the seed packets.”
One would think it would be easy to identify 7’ marigolds. Sorry can’t judge height in the pictures because they’re all prostrate. I’m so worried about them reseeding though thankfully (?maybe?) there are few flowers. Just a marigold carpet. Not what you ever plant marigold for…I think I posted a picture a month ago in the Crimsoncrisp thread
