Marigolds (genus Tagetes) are popular, easy-to-grow flowers known for their bright yellow, orange, and red blooms, and their strong scent that deters pests like deer, rabbits, and whiteflies, making them excellent companion plants for vegetable gardens. Native to the Americas, they thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, with common types including French, African, and Signet marigolds, and are used ornamentally and in some cultural traditions like Mexico’s Día de Muertos. 

Growing Conditions

Sunlight: Require full sun for best blooming.

Soil: Prefer well-drained loamy soil; avoid highly acidic or saline conditions.

Watering: Water when the topsoil is dry. 

Uses & Benefits

Pest Control: 

Their scent deters pests like nematodes, rabbits, and whiteflies, making them great companion plants for tomatoes and other vegetables. 

Ornamental: 

Used as bedding plants, in borders, and in containers. 

Culinary/Medicinal: 

Some varieties have edible, flavorful petals used in teas or as a tarragon substitute, though the plant can cause skin irritation in some people. 

Cultural: 

Important in Mexican traditions, especially for Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead).
