Growing Information
Sparky Mixture Marigolds prefer full sun exposure and well-drained soil to flourish. Moderate watering is recommended to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Plant spacing should be 8-10 inches apart to allow healthy growth. Removing spent blooms encourages ongoing flowering throughout the growing season. These marigolds are excellent companion plants for vegetables due to their pest-repellent properties.
