Marigold or Aztec marigold or Mexican marigold (Tagetes erecta) even though it’s native to the Americas, it grows from the southwestern United States into South America, it’s often called the African marigold. Some species have become naturalised around the world. Their name in English, “marigold”, is derived from Mary's gold, a name first applied to a similar plant native to Europe, The Calendula (Calendula officinalis.). Very good near tomatoes because they have stuff in their roots that kills nematodes. For best results take off the dead heads as this will encourage more flowers and make the plant more bushy. Grow from seed easily or a punnet from the nursery. These are previous years photos because their spot is currently being taken by the dahlias. #mygarden #flowers #marigold #aztecmarigold #tageteserecta #mexicanmarigold #australiangardens #australiangarden (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYyKRVQJsiw/?utm_medium=tumblr

My marigolds are finally blooming! Yet another plant I’ve not killed! It seems planting in Autumn/Winter proves to be more successful than Spring and Summer! I also have cauliflower, brocolini, strawberries, tomato, rosemary and lavender that are going rather well. And my water propagation of rosemary and ivy seem to be doing great too! . . . #marigold #africanmarigolds #aztecmarigold #blackthumb #winterandthemoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CCa8SFdnKiS/?igshid=1pyws7mczq3ek
