Crackerjack Marigold
Tagetes erecta
Crackerjack Marigolds are among the
easiest annuals to grow. They bloom all summer long producing large 4”
carnation like flowers in shades of gold, yellow and orange. They will
grow to a height of 3 feet tall.
Marigolds make a great
cut flower and add color to your flower arrangements. To eliminate the
strong marigold odor simply strip the foliage from the cut flowers.
Sow outdoors
after all danger of frost is past. Sprinkle seeds over soil and cover
lightly. Moisten the soil but do not over water and make soggy.
Germination takes 7-10 days. Thin to 8” when seedlings are 3” tall. |
