Lemon Drop French Marigold Seeds Reviews

Huge marigold plants
Sep 3, 2019I seeded Lemon Drops in my full-sun garden as well as in a container on a balcony with afternoon sun. In the container they grew 4 feet tall on long stems and produced abundant large flowers. In the garden they took a while to grow but have become a dense hedge of plants nearly 3 feet tall. The color of the flowers varies from golden to bright yellow. I like the variety but would not describe them as "compact"

Lemon Drop Marigolds
Dec 14, 2019I have been looking for the old fashion Lemon Drop Marigolds for several years at every garden center I came across. I finally found them here and EVERY single seed germinated! They all bloomed and lasted until the hard frost took everything...
