The Double Lemon marigold is a real eye-catcher for your garden! With its striking, bright yellow flowers, this plant gives a cheerful look and is perfect for adding color to flower beds and borders. This beautiful variety has full, double flowers that are not only beautiful to look at, but also spread a wonderful scent.

Marigolds are not only a feast for the eyes; they are also very useful in the garden. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies and can help to keep pests at bay. What’s more, the flowers are edible and can be used in salads, teas or as a garnish.

At around 30-45cm tall, Double Lemon is ideal for both borders and pots. This plant grows best in full sun and flowers from late spring to autumn, giving you long-lasting enjoyment of its beauty.

Sowing instructions:

Marigolds are easy to sow! Since they are dark germinators, you can cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Sow them in seed trays or containers, or plant them directly in the ground. Make sure the soil is well-drained and keep the seeds moist, but not too wet. Marigolds germinate quickly, usually within 5 to 7 days. Keep a distance of about 25-30 cm between the plants to give them enough space for growth.
