Disappointment - wrong seeds

Bought a packet of Johnson’s “Jolly Jester” tagetes - I just love those tall stripy things. 
Anyway, I sowed them, pricked them out,  planted them and looked after them. They’ve just started to flower and they are little dwarf “Naughty Marietta”. 
Bugger - I only grow tall things for cutting! 
To give them their due, Johnson’s have said that they’ll replace them - BUT I’ve not got any lovely stripy jolly jesters this year - and who
knows if the replacement pack will be Jolly Jesters. 
So annoying.
We really are at the mercy of the seed companies - and thankfully, most of the time they get it right. 
Apologies for weird font changes. Dunno what’s going on!

I thought you were just so angry you were shouting  in text   so annoying, replacement seeds don't replace the time it takes for growing.

No -
Not that angry!!
Dunno why I got all that large bold text!

   

I'm growing Tall Scotch Prize from Mr Fothergills, might be worth trying them for next year. I'm very happy with them as I'm not a fan of the short stubby marigolds.

I’m VERY jealous. They look grand. That’s exactly what I was hoping to get!
I grew them about ten years ago and they were lovely in a big bunch.
Naughty Marietta looks like something you’d find in a manicured municipal park.
