Notes

Compact ferny foliage has strong citrus scent. Flowers have citrus flavour - best edible marigold. Mounded foliage covered in tiny single flowers all season without dead-heading. Adapted to many soil types but will perform poorly in rich or wet soils. Excellent heat resistance, fast growth rate.
