Marigold plants, scientifically known as Tagetes, are vibrant and colorful blooms that inspire passion and creativity in the garden. As members of the Asteraceae family and natives of the Americas—especially Mexico and Central America—they embody resilience and beauty. Celebrated for their hardiness and versatility, marigolds have secured their place as beloved companions for gardeners and horticulturists alike.
