I didn't get around to pulling up the dead Marigolds last fall and I wonder if I can take the pods off of them to start new flowers for this year and save some $$$$. Has anyone done this when the pods have been outside all winter? I opened one up and the seeds look just fine. Just wondering if it would work. Thanks

Let me know if they don't germinate Tina and I'll send a bunch off to you.

I did wet a paper towel and put the seeds in it but nothing is happening yet. I'm not sure how many days it takes to sprout. I'll try some in a seed starter tray as well. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know if they grow.

In my experience, it doesn't hurt them anyway you plant them, even if they have stayed outside o\all winter...Marigolds are very forgiving....

I save marigolds every year Tina...I have one in particular that has a bit of a family story behind it. Many times they get rained on and frozen, but they still germinate. Put a few in a warm, damp paper towel and see if they sprout.
