Marigolds are vibrant, easy-to-grow annual flowers known for their bright orange, yellow, and red blooms. These marigold flowers offer natural pest control in gardens, attract pollinators, and add cheerful color to borders and containers.
Marigolds come in various species, with popular varieties including French marigolds (Tagetes patula) and African marigolds (Tagetes erecta). These hardy flowers thrive in well-drained soil and full sunlight, making them ideal for drought-prone areas. Beyond their ornamental value, marigolds have culinary and medicinal uses. Calendula flower has edible petals and will add a peppery flavor to salads, while marigold extracts are used in skin care products for their anti-inflammatory properties. Whether used as companion plants to deter pests, as cut flowers in arrangements, or for their potential health benefits, marigolds are a versatile and valuable addition to any garden or landscape.
