Marigold is known for its bright and beautiful colour, it is classified as tagetes, a herbaceous plants (asteraceae) in the sunflower family known as the daisy family.

Reason Why It Is My Best

• It is very easy to plant,
• needs a lot of sunlight and warm soil to keep it blooming, in that case you don't do much watering in hot summer.
• Its really a nice choice of flower you can put in your garden because it keeps mosquitoes away because of its scent.
