Etymology

The name 'Tagetes' is derived from Latin, likely named after a character in Roman mythology or possibly from the Etruscan word for a type of plant. It was first described scientifically in the 17th century. The plants are known for their vibrant colors and are popular in horticulture, especially in North and South America. The use of tagetes in gardens extends back to the Aztecs and other indigenous cultures, who appreciated not just their beauty but also their utility in pest control. Over time, the cultivation of marigolds spread across the globe, becoming a favorite for many gardeners for their bright flowers and ease of care.
