Tagetes lemonii or the Mountain Marigold is a sprawling shrub with lovely bright yellow flowers. This marigold is much larger than most others, but none the less lovely for it, providing that you keep it trimmed.
It has pleasant light green fern-like foliage that is quite aromatic, smelling like passionfruit. Plant where you will brush past the bush to experience its beautiful scent.
And in autumn and winter it produces a vibrant splash of golden yellow, simple daisy-like flowers with very full centres.
Sometimes, in sheltered positions they will continue to produce more flushes of flowers throughout the year, especially if they are kept trimmed and dead-headed.
