Overview

Marigolds, both French and African, are native to Mexico and Guatemala, were discovered in the early 16th century and brought to Europe and Northern Africa by the late 16th century.
The family name, Tagetes, originates from a mythical Etruscan deity.
By the early 1600’s, African Marigolds had naturalized along the North African coast when introduced to Britain, leading to them being mistakenly labeled as African Marigolds.
In Spain, they were favoured for placement on the altar of the Virgin Mary, earning them the name “Mary’s Gold” or Marigold.
In India, Marigolds gained religious significance, known as the Friendship Flower.
