Common name: Marigold, Genda गेंदा (Hindi), Jhenduphool झेंडूफूल (Marathi), Gondephool गाँडेंफूल (Konkani), Sanarei (Manipuri) Botanical name: Tagetes erecta - [ (TAG-e-teez) or (ta-JEE-teez) named for Tages, an Etruscan god who sprang up from ploughed earth; (ee-RECK-tuh) erect, upright ] Family: Asteraceae or alternatively Compositeae (aster, daisy, or sunflower family) - [ (ass-ter-AY-see-ay) the aster (daisy) family; formerly Compositae ] Origin: Mexico and Central America Despite its common name, the African marigold (T. erecta) is native to Mexico and Central America. The French marigold (T. patula), is also from this region. Marigolds have naturalized in many other warm climate areas all over the world. Marigolds are not fussy, they will adapt to most garden soils. There is no finer plant for use in beds and borders than the marigold. Common but colorful, inexpensive and easy to germinate and grow, there are varieties available in a wide range of heights, hues and flower forms. The marigold is a workhorse of the garden where they bloom non-stop for virtually the entire summer. The rugged marigolds are perfect for containers where they combine well with other plants Courtesy: - Flowers of India - Dave's Garden - Floridata Note: Identification attempted; may not be accurate. |
