If they're a hybrid variety, they probably won't produce true to form. If they are an heirloom (open pollinated) variety, and they were the only Marigold you planed this year, they should produce true to form.

If you're not particular on color or form for next season, then I'd give saving them a try. They are one of the easier seeds to save. Store them in a paper bag over the winter in a cool, dark spot. No dampness.

I grew two new ones to me this year. 'Strawberry Blond' and 'Fireball.' I didn't care for the color on the Strawberry Blond, but I really loved the Fireball - super bright orange/ red. You could see it from a long way off!

The seed was from Burpee's and Jung's, respectively.
