Tagetes (Tagetes sp.)
Tagetes, or Marigold, is a very floriferous annual that is easy to grow. Its yellow, orange and red flowering embellishes gardens, balconies and terraces. In the vegetable garden, it is also famous for repelling insects such as nematodes. You can salvage the dried flowers, take the seeds and replant them next year! Marigolds are also used for natural dyeing, producing beautiful yellows, yellow-greens and oranges.
