Fireball marigold produces fully double flowers that open deep red, age through rusty orange, and finish in rich golden bronze. Cooler spring, early-summer, and fall temperatures bring out the strongest color contrast.
Sow the seeds on the soil surface and lightly cover them. Start indoors 4–8 weeks before the last frost or sow outdoors shortly before the last frost; transplant after frost and water seedlings regularly until established.
