Marigold - French Sparky Mix (Seeds)

Sparky Mix Marigold is a compact, colourful annual that produces masses of warm tawny orange and yellow flowers from mid-summer until the first frost, and sometimes even beyond.

This variety is especially useful in vegetable gardens because its roots can help suppress certain harmful soil nematodes. It can also be grown as a cover crop to help with weed suppression.

Plants reach approximately 30 cm (12") tall and perform well in garden beds, borders, and containers. They are surprisingly drought tolerant once established, and regular deadheading will help keep plants blooming for as long as possible.
