TAGETES tenuifolia
'Tangerine Gem' Tangerine Signet Marigold

The orange member of the Gem family, ‘Tangerine Gem’ produces masses of small, bright tangerine-orange flowers above finely textured, fragrant foliage. Compact at around 10–12", it is an easy filler and edging plant for sunny containers and combines beautifully with blue, purple and bronze companions. Like ‘Lemon Gem’, its flowers are edible and have a distinctive citrus flavor.
