• Edible Flowers: The petals offer a delicate floral flavor with hints of citrus and spice, making them a delightful addition to salads, desserts, and cooked dishes (remove bitter base).
• Excellent for Cut Flowers: The tall stems make ‘Nosento Limegreen’ ideal for bringing a touch of unique color indoors.

Growing Information:

Transplant Recommended: Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last expected frost into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling containers, lightly covering the seeds. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

Direct Sow: You can also direct sow seeds outdoors ¼ inch deep after the last frost.

Pinching: Pinching young plants encourages branching and can lead to more blooms.

Growing Conditions: Plant in full sun in average, well-drained soil. Moderate feeding is sufficient. A soil pH between 6.0 and 7.5 is preferred. High temperatures may temporarily slow growth and bloom. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.

Note: Light-colored marigolds like ‘Nosento Limegreen’ may be more attractive to Japanese beetles.

Harvesting: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still have tight centers for the longest vase life.
