Just to clarify by "less desirable" I mean odd colors and plant sizes. For example, I have looked for marigold seeds at the big box stores and nurseries, but they never sell seeds for the 12 - 18 inch plants with various colors (orange, yellow, gold, white, etc.). All they sell are seeds for 6-8 inch plants or 3+ ft. plants.
It is odd because a majority of the marigold PLANTS these places sell are the 12 -18 inch plants with the various colors. I always wondered if they didn't sell the more common packets of seeds because they were afraid they would cut into their plant sales.
