Nosento Limegreen (F1) Marigold Seed
Nearly scentless lime-green to pale yellow blooms.
A good choice for those who dislike the classic marigold fragrance, as the 2–3" blooms produce little to no scent. Deep green centers lighten to lemon-yellow as blooms mature. Dark green foliage. NOTE: Light-colored marigolds such as Nosento seem to be more attractive to Japanese beetles which feed on petals and foliage, causing damage.Specs:
