French Marigold, Sparky Mix,

Sparky Mixture Marigold Spunky, little marigolds are edible and beneficial! Full, yellow-and-orange, double blooms cover these short plants. Marigolds are a great companion plant (they deter nasty bugs). This variety is excellent for small spaces: raised beds, containers, and borders. Their short height won't shade out other plants.

Sparky Mixture marigold is a hardy full sun performer and most commonly sown directly after the frost, but for earliest blooms, begin seeds 6–8 weeks indoors before the frost. Marigolds will take 7–21 days to germinate in full lighting. Plant 2-3 Sparky Mixture marigold seeds ¼" deep and 6" apart in average, evenly moist, and well-drained soil in full sun. Sparky Mixture marigold is a vigorous full sun performer native to Mexico and known to tolerate gardens prone to heat, drought, and clay soils. Plants must be properly drained and ventilated and may be susceptible to powdery mildew, root rot, leaf spots, and Botrytis. Marigold has no serious pests but is monitored regularly for spider mites and thrips. Sparky Mixture marigold seeds mature in 63–77 days as 9–12" tall shrubby mounds with a 4–6" spread of 2–3" semi-double blooms.
