Description

Crackerjack Mixed Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is a classic African marigold variety renowned for its massive, fully double blooms reaching up to 4–5 inches across. Unfurling in brilliant, glowing shades of golden yellow, bright orange, and rich primrose, these massive carnation-like flowers rise on sturdy, upright stems above aromatic dark green foliage. An ideal choice for sunny borders, cut flower arrangements, and garden protection, it delivers vibrant, reliable color from mid-summer straight through to autumn frost.
