Description
gem marigold seeds Lemon Gem Marigold | Flower SeedsA profusion of petite single flowers appear on top of the soft and lacey light green foliage. Unlike other types of marigolds, a lovely citrusy scent perfumes the air around them. Beneficial insects are attracted to them, and one of our favorite ways to grow these is to plant 5 7 seedlings in a circle creating a bushy shrub like appearance. Flower petals are edible and are used to liven up salads and other dishes. Use in beds, borders, and containers.
