Lemon Tagetes (Mountain Marigold)
17.98 ₪
An evergreen shrub that offers a sensory explosion.
Known for its lacy foliage and masses of golden-yellow flowers, it emits a powerful, sharp lemon-and-mint scent that can be smelled from several meters away.
It is a 'comeback' plant that blooms most intensely in autumn and winter, providing bright color when the rest of the garden is going dormant.
