Growth Timeline

  • Growing Season: Most herbs and flowers have a peak growing season that starts in Spring and extends through Fall. Some herbs, such as parsley and cilantro, continue to thrive outside of these seasons. Most herbs can survive year-round. However, they will be dormant during the mild winter months.
  • First Harvest: Herbs grow slower and can take 1-2 months to get to a harvesting stage. Take frequent cuttings once reaching this point for the longevity of the plant.
  • Final Harvest: Herbs will last easily through a season. Many varieties are perennials and will become dormant in the winter before popping back into action in the spring.

Growing Zone

Sparky Marigold, 2" plant grows best in zones 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, but may do well outside that range as well.

About this plant

Sparky Marigold is a 2" organically grown flowering annual that lives up to its name — producing an electrifying mix of vivid orange, golden-yellow, and fiery red double blooms that crackle with warm color energy from early summer through the first frost. Compact, free-flowering, and wonderfully easy to grow, it thrives in grow pots, containers, window boxes, and garden beds — bringing bold, season-long color to any sunny space.

Like all marigolds, Sparky's strong fragrance and root exudates naturally repel common garden pests, making it a brilliant companion for vegetable and edible gardens. Organically grown from the start, it arrives ready to establish quickly and reward you with weeks of vivid, non-stop bloom.

Fun Fact: Marigolds are one of the few flowers that bloom continuously from planting to frost without deadheading — Sparky's self-cleaning habit means more color with less work all season long.

Organically grown and shipped with care — ready to spark joy in your garden from the first warm day to the last.

We take great care to ensure our seedlings are healthy and well-established before they’re shipped. We pre-germinate the organic seeds and grow herbs up to 10-12 weeks before shipping them as young plants. Seedlings typically arrive within 1-4 days. For more information, see our shipping policy.
