Crackerjack is a classic tall African Marigold producing large, fully double flowers in a brilliant mixture of yellow, gold and orange. Growing to approximately 90 cm tall, the sturdy, upright plants create a bold display throughout the warmer months.
The large blooms are carried on long stems, making Crackerjack an excellent variety for cutting and fresh flower arrangements. In the garden, plants work beautifully through borders, cottage gardens and productive growing areas, where the flowers also attract bees and other beneficial insects.
Hardy and easy to grow, African Marigolds thrive in warm conditions and full sun. Regular picking or deadheading encourages continued flowering throughout summer and into autumn.
Seed count: approximately 300 seeds/g
Approximately 200 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)

Planting / Sowing

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
