MEXICAN MARIGOLD
Botanical Name
Tagetes lemonii
One of the happiest bushy perennials you will come across. It is covered in golden-orange marigold flowers most of the year and the light-green leaves release a sweet, passionfruit scent when brushed up against or the breeze catches the bush. It grows to 1.5 metres, is ideal for cottage gardens and rockeries, needs a warm, sheltered position with plenty of sun. Handles a very light frost. 50 seeds.
