excellent early bloomer

first year trying red cherry. great germination, great compact growth, early bloom. plants are loaded with bud and bloom. seeded in early april, ready now june 1. one ounce provided 1300 plants without being conservative with the seed. color is initially very red, then oranges blend in from the center. overall very attractive plant and color. i will add this to my staple marigolds. this year trying tangerine, bolero again, moonlight, all from eden,and durango mix (not eden seed)

It's orange, not red

The bloom color isn't red, it's orange. It's a nice orange if that's what you want. My client and I wanted the color in the description, RED.
