I’m very happy with these plants. They are growing very well in a hot, sunny portion of my garden that has relatively poor soil and not minding a bit (I do have them well mulched with wood chips and that is helping a lot!). While they were quick to bloom in the spring and are producing an abundance of flowers, they are not a show stopper compared to some marigolds. I will definitely grow these again, but will use them either in my vegetable garden, or as a companion plant to other showier varieties. Also, for those looking for edible blooms, they have a nice flavor with a very pleasant aftertaste.
This plant grows in a perfectly round mound. In a hot, dry site beside the sidewalk, I had mounds 2 feet across. The strong scent, to me, is less like lemon than like citronella. I planted this plant partially to keep away cucumber beetles, but perhaps it works for mosquitoes, too I haven't tried cooking with the petals, but they taste slightly bitter.
