Marigold French Sparky

Marigold French Sparky adds fiery colour to the summer garden with bold reds, oranges and yellows. Growing to be only 30-35cm tall, this mixture is great for borders, meadows, a small space garden and containers.

The dried and ground flower petals are edible in small quantities and are known as ‘imitation saffron’. The flowers impart a unique, rather earthy flavour, compatible with the flavours of cinnamon and cloves.

As a companion plant this variety will suppress nematodes in your soil and they can also be used as a cover crop for weed suppression. Also, try planting Marigolds in your veggie garden to help attract beneficial insects

Deadheading prolongs the bloom period and these marigolds are surprisingly drought resistant. Marigold Sparky Mix is so easy to grow that it is the perfect choice for a child’s first garden.

They will grow in most well drained, moderately fertile soils, anywhere in Australia, but do need a full sun location to perform to its best, though a little shade is still well tolerated
