Thompson & Morgan - Flowers - Tagetes Lemon Gem - 225 Seed

Tagetes - Lemon Gem

This is an extremely neat version of this popular half hardy annual, making it ideal as an edging to pathway or lawn. It grows well even in an adverse summer with the mounded plants smothered in blooms from the end of June onwards. It flowers early summer to first frosts. Height: 23cm.

Sow in spring at 21-24C in a good seed compost. Just cover the seed with compost and keep the soil damp but not wet. Germination usually takes 5-14 days. They can also be sown out of doors 6mm deep in well raked soil in late spring. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 1-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost 23-3cm apart in a sunny spot.
