The Marigold, commonly known as Genda in India, is a cheerful and incredibly easy-to-grow annual flower, perfect for adding instant color and charm to any garden. Its bright, pom-pom-like blooms come in warm shades of orange, yellow, and red, often with contrasting centers. Marigolds are highly versatile, excellent for garden beds, borders, containers, and even as companion plants to deter pests naturally. They thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring minimal care once established. Blooming profusely from spring until frost, Marigolds are a fantastic choice for beginner gardeners and those looking for continuous, vibrant floral displays.
