How Marigold Has Grown Since Montezuma Day
Marigolds native to Mexico and introduced to Europe after the discovery of America have transformed in appearance over the past twenty years due to scientific breeding. The name Marygold dates to Shakespearean times with the calendula. Mexican newcomers updated the variety, producing giant forms resembling chrysanthemums, carnations, and peonies while crossing African and French types to yield larger red blooms. Dwarf forms gain usefulness for borders. seeds are large and prone to rot in cold damp soil. They transplant easily, should not be sown until beans risk frost has passed, and are generally pest and disease resistant.
