Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is very easy to plant in the garden, whether you want to use it as a herbal remedy or just to admire it. Seeing its lovely yellow flowers every day from my window is a remedy by itself.
Marigold grows almost wildly in my garden, it spread its seeds and in the spring starts to grow everywhere throughout the garden and beyond. It grows mixed with vegetable to protect them from bugs who want to eat them.
From spring to late automn I have a fresh supply of marigold, if I need it to make marigold cream, oil, pick fresh leaves or to dry them.
Can be grown from seeds or plants. Some seeds that can be bought have more decorative then curative properties. Old types are the best and very resistant, when planted one year, next year they grow by themselves. One plant can grow as a small bush.
Even when clouds cover the sky, marigold flowers look full of sun.
