The 'Crackerjack Mix' of African Marigold is known for its large, double flowers that come in a mix of colors including yellow, orange, gold, and sometimes red. These flowers can grow to be quite sizable, making a striking visual impact in gardens.

This cultivar typically grows quite tall, reaching heights of about 2 to 3 feet, and the flowers can have a diameter of 3 to 5 inches.

African Marigolds, including the 'Crackerjack Mix', tend to have an extended blooming period from late spring well into fall, providing an enduring display of colorful flowers.

The foliage of African Marigold is typically dark green and finely divided, providing an attractive backdrop to the vibrant flowers.

'Crackerjack Mix' African Marigolds thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun. They're relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate various soil conditions, though they do best in fertile, well-draining soil.

Marigolds, in general, are known to repel certain pests while attracting beneficial insects like bees and butterflies to the garden.

'Crackerjack Mix' African Marigolds are commonly used in borders, beds, and containers, adding a burst of vivid colors. They're also used for companion planting due to their pest-repelling properties.

These plants are relatively easy to grow and require minimal care. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continued blooming, and occasional pruning helps maintain their shape.

Wildflower Planting Time Based on Region:

Southeast

  • Fall, Winter: Sowing wildflowers in Fall/Winter is the ideal time in the Southeast, with October 1 – December 31 being the best dates. The weather is ideal for starting seeds, and seedlings can grow and harden off before frost.
  • Spring: A good time to plant wildflowers, especially annual species that flower quickly. Plant after the last frost date when soil temperatures have warmed to around 55°F, typically occurring within a month or so after the final frost of winter; this ensures the seeds can germinate properly without being affected by cold weather.
  • Summer: You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

 

Southwest

  • Fall: A good time to plant spring wildflowers in the desert Southwest. Fall's cooler temperatures and seasonal rains help seeds germinate. In the mountains, you can plant after spring frosts.
  • Winter: In areas that get snow, winter seeding can give seeds an advantage in the spring. 
  • Spring: A popular time to plant wildflowers in most states. You can plant after the last frost and when the soil temperature is at least 55°F. In warmer climates, you can plant at the end of the rainy season.
  • Summer: You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

 

Northeast

  • Fall, Winter: The best time to plant wildflowers in the Northeast is in late fall, after the first frost but before heavy snow. This is known as dormant seeding and can take place from November to December. Cold temperatures and damp soil during the winter help wildflower seeds germinate. 
  • Spring: Plant in early spring, after the ground has thawed and soil temperatures reach around 55-65°F. This is a popular time to plant wildflowers because it's typically rainier, which helps water seedlings. 
  • Summer: You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

 

Midwest

  • Fall, Winter: Plant in late fall (November–December) after the first frost. The seeds will overwinter and germinate in the spring. Fall planting is a good option for cooler climates and can give the seeds an early start in the spring. 
  • Spring: Plant in early spring (April–May) after the last frost when the soil temperature is consistently above 55°F. Spring is a popular time to plant because the soil is usually moist from rain, and you can see the wildflowers grow right away.
  • Summer: You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

 

Western

  • Fall, Winter: Plant in late fall (November–December) after the first frost. The seeds will overwinter and germinate in the spring. Fall planting is a good option for cooler climates and can give the seeds an early start in the spring. 
  • Spring: Plant in early spring (April–May) after the last frost when the soil temperature is consistently above 55°F. Spring is a popular time to plant because the soil is usually moist from rain, and you can see the wildflowers grow right away.
  • Summer: You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

 

Pacific Northwest

  • Fall, Winter: Plant in late fall (November–December) after the first frost. The seeds will overwinter and germinate in the spring. Fall planting is a good option for cooler climates and can give the seeds an early start in the spring. 
  • Spring: Plant in early spring (April–May) after the last frost when the soil temperature is consistently above 55°F. Spring is a popular time to plant because the soil is usually moist from rain, and you can see the wildflowers grow right away.
  • Summer: In cooler zones with higher elevation, you can plant wildflowers in late spring to early summer, after the risk of frost has passed. You can plant wildflower seeds in the summer, but the hot sun can dry out the soil and stress your seedlings. Summer is a good time to plant quick-growing annual wildflowers.

Puppy-Approved Entertainment
Oh my gosh, my puppy absolutely loves this toy. Out of all the toys we’ve brought home recently, this one may have become her favorite. She chases it around the room, pounces on it, carries it around, and then does the funniest thing—she’ll bring it back to her bed and just hold it in her mouth while it vibrates. I’m not sure if she’s soothing her teething gums or if she simply enjoys the sensation, but she seems completely fascinated by it. It’s honestly pretty entertaining to watch. The unpredictable movement keeps her engaged much longer than many of her other toys, and it does a great job encouraging active play. For a puppy with endless energy, that’s a big win. The outer sleeve has held up well so far, and I appreciate that the toy is rechargeable instead of constantly needing replacement batteries. If you’re looking for a toy that can keep a curious puppy busy and provide some laughs for the humans watching, this one has been a hit in our house. It’s getting a lot more playtime than most of the toys in her basket.

Entertaining, but the charging setup is awkward
This toy seems durable, and it definitely got my dog’s attention. He was cautious at first, which is pretty typical for him with new toys, but after about an hour he warmed up to it and started batting it around the house. Once he figured it out, it did a good job of keeping him engaged. I like that it has that moving, unpredictable action because it seems to trigger his chase instinct and keeps him interested instead of ignoring it after a minute. For a dog that gets bored easily, that matters. My biggest issue is the charging setup. I had to unscrew the ball and mess with the internal parts just to get to the plug, and that felt unnecessarily awkward. There also seemed to be lubricant inside the ball, which made the whole process feel more complicated than it needed to be. I really think the charging port should have been easier to access. So overall, I like the toy itself, and it appears to be sturdy enough for regular use. The main drawback is that the design could be more practical on the charging side. If you are mainly looking for something that will keep a dog entertained, it does that well, but the setup is not as convenient as it should be.

Fun moving pet toy, but definitely better for dogs
I don’t have a dog, but I do have a cat that loves chasing and batting around balls. I hoped this moving ball would keep her occupied while my girlfriend and I were working, but unfortunately, she wasn’t especially interested. She chased it briefly and touched it a few times, but this is clearly designed more for dogs than cats. The ball itself works as advertised. It moves unpredictably, vibrates, and has different modes designed to restart when a pet interacts with it. The outer sleeve feels durable, and for under $14, the overall construction is better than I expected. My biggest complaint is the charging process. You have to remove the internal ball from the protective cover, unscrew it, deal with the lubricant inside, and then access the charging port. It works, but I wish there were an exterior charging connection that didn’t require taking the toy apart. My cat’s lack of interest isn’t really the product’s fault, so I’m only deducting one star for the awkward charging design. For a dog that loves balls, chasing, or fetch, this could be a fun and inexpensive way to provide extra activity and stimulation.

Unfortunately another toy...
That doesn't stand up to the kind of dogs that need an interactive toy the most. Dog toy companies are missing the mark. Dogs that need the most entertainment are like our rescue boy in the video. Super smart, active, super chewers. They are the dogs that are abandoned, abused, and put to sleep the most. Why because they can destroy anything when board. The video and pictures say it all. I truly wish I could give less than a star. Value for the money 🤣😮‍💨😢

My dogs loved it, but it doesn't hold up.
My dogs absolutely love this ball! The moment I took it out of the package, they were already trying to play with it. The vibration is strong, and on hardwood floors it moves around fairly well. It keeps the dogs interested and does a good job of rolling around. The blue outer ring is made of a mildly tacky, hard rubber. Within about 30 seconds of rolling around, it had already picked up pet hair and lint from the floor. That said, the rubber feels fairly durable. I have some heavy chewers, so I'll update my review later to let everyone know how well it holds up over time. The charging process is a little unusual and somewhat concerning. To charge the ball, you have to remove it from the rubber shell, unscrew it, and pull out the motor assembly. While doing this, I got some kind of grease on my hand, so I would recommend being careful not to fully remove the motor when charging. It does use a USB-C charging port, and a small charging cable is included. Overall, my dogs are having a great time with it so far. I'll update this review if anything changes or if the ball doesn't hold up long-term. UPDATE: It is 2 days later, the rubber net around the ball has lost a lot of it's rigidity and no longer holds the inner ball in place. My dogs are able to easily remove the inner ball, which is hard and small enough for them to swallow. This toy has been taken away as much as they have loved it, as it's now a choking hazard. As a result, my rating has gone from 4 stars to 2.
