Description
La Rose d’Inde 'Nosento Limegreen' F1 (Tagetes erecta) charme par ses gros capitules en pompons vert lime évoluant vers le jaune clair, portés par de hautes tiges. C'est une sélection presque inodore. Elle convient aux massifs d’été, aux grandes potées et surtout aux bouquets, car sa tenue en vase est remarquable. Idéale pour ceux qui n'apprécient pas l'odeur du souci, son semis est facile et elle fleurit sans interruption de juin à octobre.
Le Tagetes erecta est une plante de la famille des Astéracées, c'est une espèce botanique originaire du Mexique, d'Amérique Centrale, et de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Sud. En théorie vivace, mais non rustique, a donné naissance à de nombreux hybrides dont le cycle de vie est généralement annuel.
'Nosento Limegreen' est un hybride F1 de T. erecta, sélectionné pour ses fleurs claires et son très faible parfum (« No-sento »). Ses inflorescences sont denses, sphériques, remplies de pétales. Cette variété est appréciée en fleur coupée : elle peut tenir jusqu'à 3 semaines en vase. Annuelle vigoureuse au port buissonnant, dressé, elle se ramifie bien après le pincement. De croissance rapide, on compte 80 à 105 jours entre le semis et la floraison. En pleine terre, la plante atteint 70 à 80 cm de hauteur pour 30-40 cm d'envergure ; cultivée en pot, 40–60 cm de hauteur selon le volume du contenant et la fertilisation. Les feuilles sont pennées, d'un vert moyen à foncé, profondément divisées ; chez Nosento, le feuillage est décrit comme faiblement odorant. Les fleurs sont de gros capitules de 5 à 7 cm de diamètre, qui passent du vert tilleul au jaune citron pâle en s’ouvrant, au centre verdâtre devenant plus clair à maturité. La floraison est abondante de juin à octobre. Les fleurs n'ont quasiment pas de parfum.
'Nosento Limegreen' F1 fait merveille dans les massifs d'été. Son coloris vert tilleul se marie particulièrement bien avec des feuillages pourprés et des floraisons pastel. Plantez cette Rose d'Inde par groupes de 3 à 5 devant des graminées légères (Pennisetum alopecuroïdes 'Hameln', Panicum virgatum 'Purple Breeze') et des vivaces sobres (gauras, népétas). Dans un grand pot, associez-la à une sauge annuelle bleu clair (Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue'), une amarante vert tendre (Amaranthus ‘Verte’) ou à un cosmos jaune pâle. Dans un bouquet, mélangez-la avec quelques tiges de Zinnia elegans ‘Envy Double’, Cosmos ‘Xanthos’, tabac d'ornement ‘Lime Green’ et Ammi majus.
Coupez les tiges au stade pompon bien ouvert, le matin, et plongez-les aussitôt dans l’eau fraîche.
Outre ses usages ornementaux, la Rose d’Inde est emblématique des célébrations mexicaines du Día de los Muertos ; ses pétales et leur couleur guident symboliquement les esprits. Certaines sélections sont aussi utilisées comme fleurs comestibles pour leur saveur qui rappelle l'agrume, légèrement amère.

Planting and care
Sow Tagetes erecta 'Nosento Limegreen' from February to April.
Sow on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed compost. Cover the seeds with a very thin layer of vermiculite or compost. Place the sowings in a propagator or enclose in a polyethylene bag at a constant temperature of 20-25°C until germination, which usually takes 7 to 21 days. Do not deprive of light, as this promotes germination.
When the young plants are developed enough to handle, transplant into trays or 8cm pots. Acclimatise to cooler conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting outdoors at 15-20cm spacing, once the risk of frost has passed.
Growing:
These fast-growing plants thrive in sunny, warm positions. Plant them in fertile, well-drained, light soil. They are fairly drought-resistant. Avoid excessive watering in summer, as this encourages fungal diseases and root rot. Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong flowering. Protect plants from slugs and snails, which are particularly fond of them. Tagetes erecta does not tolerate frost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
