Tagetes erecta 'Janie'
Marigolds are popular annual flowers cherished for their bright, cheerful blooms and easy-to-grow nature. With their vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red, marigolds add a splash of color to gardens, borders, and containers throughout the growing season. These resilient plants are known for their ability to thrive in various conditions, including full sun and poor soil, making them a favorite choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. Marigolds also possess natural pest-repellent properties, making them a valuable addition to vegetable gardens. With regular watering and deadheading, marigolds will continue to produce blooms abundantly, rewarding gardeners with their beauty from spring to fall.
The Tagetes species are edible and have been utilized in various cuisines around the world for their distinct flavor and vibrant color. The petals of these edible marigolds can be used fresh or dried to add a subtle, tangy flavor and a pop of color to salads, soups, and other dishes. Additionally, marigold petals are sometimes used to infuse teas or garnish desserts, providing both aesthetic appeal and a unique taste.
