If you want a large, majestic marigold, crackerjack is a excellent blend with a mounding form, consistent height and sturdy flower stalks. The 4 in blooms in tangerine orange, rich gold and lemony yellow will brighten up your flower bed, path edges and large container plantings. They make radiant, long-lasting cut flowers and are so easy to grow from seed. African Marigold petals are edible with a slightly bitter, citrusy or spice flavor. They make a pretty garnish on rice, salads or desserts. For a dazzling contrast, plant next to blue or dark purple flowers. Be prepared for butterflies to visit.
