Every gardener will delight in these adorable, sunny yellow flowers on compact plants. 'Lemon Drop' adds a bright spot of color to the front of the bed, patio containers, and window boxes. In the vegetable garden, it takes up little room, and may reduce soil nematodes. Practically care-free and will self-sow if a few flowers are allowed to go to seed, providing welcome volunteers next season!

Huge marigold plants

Sep 3, 2019

I 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"
