Originating in Mexico and often referred to as African marigolds, Crackerjack marigolds produce large, showy double blooms in vibrant shades of yellow and orange that bring long-lasting color to vegetable beds and ornamental plantings alike.

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Crackerjack marigold seeds in full sun after the danger of frost has passed. Plant directly in garden soil or start indoors for earlier blooms. Space plants to allow good air circulation and water regularly until established.
