        Tore down an old building leaving an approx 50' by 50' bare spot Purchased a 1/4 lb package of sparky marigold seed and simply broadcast the seed by hand. Created a visual masterpiece. Neighbors come to pick the flowers and just look at them.

          Comments about American Meadows Marigold Seeds Sparky Mix:

          Colorado, USA, Planted these in full sun for border. Grows fast and tons of blooms! Being in full sun one should mulch and requires more water on very hot days. A weekly/bi weekly feeding should be applied for stronger stems and greater blooming action. Handles clay soils, but one should add mulch to soil before planting.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
