Introduction of Pot Marigold
Pot Marigold is a plant in the genus Calendula of the family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin. It is also widely naturalised further north in Europe (north to southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world. It is a short-lived aromatic herbaceous perennial, growing to 80 cm (31 in) tall, with sparsely branched lax or erect stems. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 5–17 cm (2–7 in) long, hairy on both sides, and with margins entire or occasionally waved or weakly toothed. The inflorescen-ces are yellow, comprising a thick capitulum or flower head 4–7 cm diameter surrounded by two rows of hairy bracts; in the wild plant they have a single ring of ray florets surrounding the central disc florets. The disc florets are tubular and hermaphrodite, and generally of a more intense orange-yellow colour than the female, tridentate, peripheral ray florets. The flowers may appear all year long where conditions are suitable. The fruit is a thorny curved achene. [Synonyms include Calendula officinalis var. prolifera. Other recorded English names include ruddles, common marigold, garden marigold, English marigold, and Scottish marigold]
Scientific Name: Calendula Officinalis
Which Climate Do Marigolds Grow In?
Not only do marigolds produce vibrant blooms in colors ranging from a soft cream to an intense orange, they also act as natural insect repellent in your garden. Marigolds will bloom in the early summer and last until the spring
