Marigolds are merry little sun-worshipping pompoms. Although they're used for spiritual ceremonies, they're also really down to earth. Marigolds are easy and fast growers, and with their bold colors and constant blooms, marigold seeds are a great choice for kids and beginner seed sprouters. Expect eye-popping yellow, orange, white, and smooth ombre red tones in this mix.

Marigolds are also edible (you can eat the blossoms and the ferny foliage), they are natural pest deterrents, and they make a gorgeous dyes.
