Details
A marigold with fantastic color and unusual flower form. Sparky blooms on 8 to 12 inch stems in vivid shades of yellow, maroon and orange. The petals, unlike those of most marigolds, are wide and wavy. Sparky is ideal for fronting borders, spectacular planted en masse, and easy to grow in pots or planters for color accents on the patio or porch.
