Description:
Lemon Gem Marigold (Tagetes patula 'Lemon Gem') is a delightful annual flower known for its bright yellow to golden blooms and aromatic foliage that has a lemony scent. This compact variety typically grows to about 10-12 inches tall, making it perfect for borders, containers, and as a bedding plant.
Lemon Gem Marigold is not only beautiful but also useful in the garden, as marigolds can help deter pests and attract beneficial insects. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and they’re relatively easy to care for, requiring regular watering and deadheading to promote continuous blooming.
