Tagetes, African Marigold Mix 'Crackerjack' Heirloom

Description

Stunning tall plants with giant yellow, gold, and orange blossoms. A good choice for mass plantings. Flowers continuously from early summer until frost. Rarely bothered by heat or insects.

Start outdoors in a sunny location in spring after all danger of frost, or in late summer in mild climates. Or start indoors four to six weeks before transplanting. Tall marigolds like Crackerjack take a few weeks longer to flower. Remove faded flowers to encourage more blossoms. Marigolds require only minimal fertilizer for best flowering.
