Tagetes lemmonii can theoretically reach a height of about 3 m, but it often tends to remain shorter (especially when grown in a pot).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom late summer through December, Tagetes lemmonii produces a lovely bloom in a warm yellow-orange colour that will brighten up your autumn. In the milder areas of Italy, the flowering may last even longer and potentially continue into spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTagetes lemmonii is a plant that loves sun, warmth and well-drained soils. Its foliage is usually deciduous or semi-evergreen, but if the plant is grown in the warmer regions of the Italian peninsula, it may behave as an evergreen. A winter temperature 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 to see it sprout again with the return of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to filling your garden with a delicious 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 aftertaste and are sometimes used to flavour soups and sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e9x9x20 pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAsteraceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eShrub\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFoliage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGreen, semi-evergreen\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eYellow-orange\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eSeptember, October, November, December\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCold hardiness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBetween -5°C and -10°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDrought tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eModerate\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eNo\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e3 m\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eExposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eFull sun, partial shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BotanicalDryGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40230682689704,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0727\/2104\/products\/Tagetes-lemmonii-vaso.png?v=1674231641","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicaldrygarden.com\/en-be\/products\/tagetes-lemmonii","provider":"BotanicalDryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
