What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

French Sparky Mix Marigold Seeds produce bright, eye-catching annual flowers with richly colored, double blooms in shades of gold, orange, yellow, and red. Each flower measures approximately 2–3 inches across, creating a bold display on tidy, compact plants that reach about 12 inches tall. Their bushy growth habit makes them especially well suited for borders, flower beds, and small garden spaces.

These French marigolds are easy to grow and reliable performers throughout the season. In addition to their strong ornamental value, the colorful blooms attract butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects, supporting a healthy and active garden ecosystem.

Compact Plants with Fiery Color:

  • Double blooms measuring 2–3 inches across
  • Mix of gold, orange, yellow, and red flowers
  • Bushy, compact plants around 12 inches tall
  • Excellent choice for borders and beds

Why Customers Love French Sparky Mix Marigolds:

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow French Sparky Mix marigold seeds in full sun after the danger of frost has passed. Plant directly into garden soil or start indoors for earlier blooms. Provide well-drained soil and regular watering during establishment.

Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming throughout the growing season. These compact plants perform well in garden beds, borders, and containers.
