Why You Should Buy

Court Jester is a great option for gardeners wanting something a little different from standard marigolds. The distinctive striped petals add strong visual impact, while the branching habit helps produce a fuller, more floriferous plant. It is well suited to sunny garden spaces, pots, and companion planting around vegetables.

Growing Guide

Sowing window: Spring, early summer and autumn, depending on your local climate.

Sow direct or raise seedlings in a moist, well-drained soil or seed-raising mix. Sow seed about 5 mm deep and keep moist during germination. Marigolds generally germinate quickly in warm conditions and perform best in a full sun position. Space plants about 25–30 cm apart to allow for branching growth and good airflow.

Garden & Landscape Appeal

Court Jester is ideal for gardeners who want a bright, decorative flower with strong contrast and a playful look. It works beautifully in bedding displays, borders, patio pots, and mixed flower plantings, where the yellow and deep brown striped petals stand out against green foliage.
