This compact marigold flowers continuously over a long season and is perfect for edging garden paths, filling patio pots, or adding bright colour to garden beds. The lightly citrus-scented leaves and edible petals also make it a charming and useful addition to summer salads. Easy to grow and sun-loving, Lemon Gem is ideal for gardeners of all skill levels.

How To Grow
Sow seeds directly where they are to grow or into seed trays. Cover lightly with soil and keep evenly moist during germination. Transplant seedlings when they reach about 5cm high. Thin plants to allow good airflow and healthy growth. Water regularly at the base of the plant and feed with liquid fertiliser once flower buds begin to form. Seedlings typically emerge within 10–14 days.
