Marigold African Crackerjack Mix delivers a vibrant assortment of large, fully double blooms in luminous shades of yellow and orange that create bold, eye-catching displays throughout the growing season. This All American Selections Award-winning cultivar represents the pinnacle of marigold breeding, combining exceptional flower size and form with reliable performance and prolific blooming. Native to South and Central America, marigolds hold profound cultural significance in Mexico, particularly during Día de los Muertos celebrations, where their brilliant colors and distinctive fragrance honor ancestral traditions and create meaningful garden connections to heritage and cultural practices. Crackerjack Mix marigolds reach moderate heights suitable for mixed borders, containers, and cutting gardens, developing naturally full, rounded forms that require minimal pruning to maintain attractive architecture. These annuals thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, demonstrating exceptional heat and drought tolerance once established, making them reliable performers in challenging climates and water-conscious landscapes. The prolific flowering habit ensures continuous color from establishment through frost, with blooms appearing in approximately 70 days from seed. The substantial flowers are excellent for cutting and arrangement, extending garden value into the home while supporting extended vase life. This 500-seed packet contains non-GMO, heirloom genetics selected for vigor and authentic character. Our seeds are sustainably produced, and our packaging is fully recyclable and climate-friendly, supporting environmentally conscious gardening practices. Note: These flowers are not edible.
