Unlike larger French or African marigolds, this species grows into a compact, bushy mound covered with dainty blooms from early summer until frost. The fine, fern-like foliage adds a delicate texture to garden beds and containers, and the edible flowers bring a citrusy pop of color to salads and garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts petite size and continuous bloom make Lemon Marigold an excellent choice for edging borders, filling window boxes, or growing in patio pots. The nectar-rich flowers also attract beneficial insects, making it a welcome addition to pollinator and herb gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, mounding growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbundant small yellow daisy-like flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine, aromatic foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong bloom season from summer to frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators and beneficial insects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tagetes tenuifolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, average soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, bushy mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grown as an annual in all zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to first frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-10 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Lemon Marigold seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Seedlings usually emerge in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Lemon Marigold is relatively low-maintenance and generally resistant to deer and rabbits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Lemon Marigold seeds (Tagetes tenuifolia).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795554500918,"sku":"FOLIA2-505","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7130557616_aqsd.jpg?v=1792671574","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-lemon-marigold-seeds-daisy-wheel-tagetes-tenuifolia-compact-yellow-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
