Crackerjack Mix Marigold (Tagetes erecta ‘Crackerjack Mix’) is a tall African marigold blend known for its large double blooms in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and gold. This vigorous annual provides bold summer colour and dependable flowering performance, making it a favourite for borders, containers, vegetable gardens, and mass plantings. The fully double flowers create a dense, rounded appearance that stands out beautifully against the rich green foliage. Its upright growth habit adds height and structure to annual flower beds while the vibrant blooms attract pollinators and provide excellent cut flowers for seasonal arrangements. Crackerjack Mix is also commonly planted near vegetable gardens due to its traditional association with companion planting and beneficial insect attraction. In Alberta, Crackerjack Mix Marigolds perform exceptionally well in full sun with well-drained soil and regular watering. They thrive during hot summer weather and continue blooming heavily until frost. Deadheading spent flowers helps encourage continuous flowering and keeps plants looking tidy throughout the growing season. Show more
