Tagetes "Little Gem" is a compact, bushy marigold variety known for its bright yellow or orange flowers and fine, feathery foliage. It’s an annual plant, perfect for borders, containers, and companion planting, as it repels pests like nematodes and aphids.
Sowing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the last frost. Location: Prefers full sun. Soil:Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Watering: Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Growth:Flowers from late spring to autumn. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushy growth. Care: Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
"Little Gem" is easy to grow and adds a cheerful splash of color to gardens and pots.
I have got this seed from fellow seed guardian Colm O'Driscoll.
