Sparky French Mix Marigold
Tagetes patula
Full, orange-and-yellow, double blooms cover these short plants. Marigolds are a great companion plant (they deter bad bugs). This variety is great for small spaces: containers, raised beds, or borders. Their short height won't shade out other plants either.

Growing instructions
Very easy to grow. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before first frost, then transplant after threat of frost has passed. Alternately, direct sow outdoors 1 inch apart, then thin to 6 inches apart once seedlings have 1-2 sets of true leaves. Marigolds prefer full sun and moderate water. Remove fading flowers to encourage a longer flowering season.
