Marigold (Tagetes spp.) is a hardy, sun-loving annual known for its vibrant blooms in shades of gold, orange, and red. These resilient flowers thrive in well-drained soil, attracting pollinators while naturally deterring common garden pests such as aphids and nematodes. Widely used in companion planting, including alongside cannabis, marigolds help support a healthier garden ecosystem by drawing beneficial insects and discouraging unwanted pests. With their compact, bushy growth and long-lasting blossoms, they’re perfect for borders, containers, and mixed garden beds. Easy to grow from seed, marigolds bloom from spring to frost, bringing warmth, color, and functional beauty to any garden.
