Ready to plant

Tagetes lemmonii (also known as Lemmon's marigold) is a marigold with a shrubby habit, native to the area between Arizona and Mexico.

It is a perennial plant that stands out for the delicious and intense aroma of its finely serrated, elongated green foliage. Tagetes lemmonii can theoretically reach a height of about 3 m, but it often tends to remain shorter (especially when grown in a pot).

From late summer until December, Tagetes lemmonii produces a lovely display of warm yellow-orange flowers that will brighten up your autumn. In the milder regions of Italy, the flowering may last even longer and potentially continue into spring.

Tagetes lemmonii is a plant that loves sun, warmth and well-drained soil. Its foliage is usually deciduous or semi-evergreen, but if grown in the warmer regions of the Italian peninsula, the plant may behave as an evergreen. Winter temperatures of -4°C will cause this marigold to enter dormancy, but as long as temperatures do not drop below around -7°C, you can be sure it will sprout again with the return of spring.

In addition to filling your garden with a delightful fragrance (which, besides delighting you, will also keep slugs away), Tagetes lemmonii can also be useful in the kitchen: its dried leaves have a delicate apple-like aftertaste and are sometimes used to flavour soups and sauces.

From late summer through December, it produces a warm-colored yellow-orange bloom; in milder areas, it may continue well into spring.

Very fond of sunlight, warmth and well-drained soils. The foliage is deciduous or semi-evergreen (evergreen in warmer areas) and can withstand temperatures down to around -7°C. Its scent keeps slugs away.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
