Tagetes commonly called Marigolds originated in Mexico.
Every year from early March, thousands of Marigold seedlings are planted around the world in all the famous parks and gardens: Hampton Court and Kew in London, England; Botanic in Munich, Germany; Ball’s in Chicago, USA; Edwards in Toronto, Canada; and in France, the Netherlands and China just to name a few. The Netherlands hosts many flower festivals featuring these flowers looking like an amazing carpet.
Marigolds are a garden favourite with brilliant golden yellow and orange
