The edible, lemon-yellow tipped petals of this charming calendula look amazing scattered on salads - and they’re pretty showy in pots, containers, and borders too! ‘Lemon Twist’ is a compact, mound-forming, hardy annual that will put on a great show in a sun-drenched spot. An ideal addition to the summer bedding scheme, where beneficial insects will hum around its fully double, rich yellow-white flowers from early summer to autumn.
Garden care: Keep picking or deadheading the flowers to ensure even more appear until the first frosts.
