100 Seeds French Marigold Sparky Mixture Tagetes patula Dwarf Annual Flower for Borders Containers

French Marigold Sparky Mixture is a compact dwarf annual prized for its single and semi-double blooms in a lively blend of gold, orange, and mahogany-red, often with contrasting centers. Plants stay tidy and free-flowering through the season, making them a dependable choice for edging beds, filling containers, and adding warm color to mixed plantings.
Sparky Mixture works well massed along border fronts, in patio pots, and in cutting gardens, where the fringed blooms add informal texture and color. The dwarf habit keeps plants compact without staking. Flowering continues from early summer into fall, and the blooms are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
