Sun at your doorstep

Crackerjack blooms gather like lanterns—gold, tangerine, and buttercream—lighting the walk from kitchen to garden.

Old-soul color

Crackerjack Marigold Seeds

Big, generous pompoms

Bare beds and bug-nibbled leaves can make a garden feel tired before summer begins.
Crackerjack Marigolds answer with towering 4-inch blooms and a time-tested knack for discouraging nematodes, aphids, and other pests.
Their sturdy annual habit fills gaps fast, drawing pollinators and energy back to the space.

From seed to spectacle

Planting becomes a daily ritual—pinch at six inches, deadhead when you pass, and the color keeps coming until hard frost.
The result is a border that looks considered, a cutting patch that never feels sparse, and vegetables that share the glow.

For the generous gardener

Someone who wants heirloom, open-pollinated marigolds with large blooms to anchor beds, feed pollinators, and companion their vegetables in full sun.

Where it lives

Sow after last frost (or start indoors 6–8 weeks prior), space 12–18 inches apart at ¼-inch depth, then pinch and deadhead for continuous 18–24-inch plants all season.
