Tagetes tenuifolia 'Lemon Gem'
- Product number: 557500
- Origin: Mexico, Central America
- Latin: Tagetes tenuifolia, or also T. signata
This fine-flowered marigold produces thousands of lemon-yellow flowers with a pleasant, lemon-like scent. The leaves and flowers are edible and add an aromatic, slightly sour taste to salads.
For those who find a regular marigold too stiff, this distinct variety is certainly a good alternative. The finer leaves immediately stand out, and when the hundreds of small, single flowers appear, the joy is complete! Flower diameter 0.5-1 cm, height 30 cm. This variety does not contain nematode-killing substances.
