Marigold is a plant of the Asteraceae family.

Plant height is 15cm to 100cm

Flower size is 5cm to 15cm

In addition to short French marigolds and other African marigolds, there are medium-sized Mexican marigolds.

It was introduced to Japan in the middle of the 17th century during the Edo period.

Although it is a non-cold-resistant annual plant, it seems to grow as a spilled seed every year.

Marigolds have a unique smell.

This smell is repelled by insects, so the flowers and leaves are kept clean.

Therefore, you don't need insect repellent near this flower (*1)

When French marigolds are planted in groups, they bloom one after another and provide ground cover for a long period from May to October.

*1: It seems that not all insects are avoided even though insect repellent is not necessary.

It seems that bees and others help pollination, and if it is a progenitor system, it seems to bear seeds by self-pollination.

The flower language is "Always by your side", "Jealousy", "Despair", "Sorrow", "Trust", "Sorrow", "Prophecy", "Health", "Brave", "Brilliance of Life", "Envy", and "Dense love".

The negative image stems from the European culture's dislike of yellow and the Spanish invasion.

The positive image is mainly derived from the sun worship in North and South America and yellow in Asia = a symbol of happiness.

If the other person is familiar with flowers, it may be a subtle gift, and if you choose it as a gift, it may be better to add the

language of flowers.

Thank you for visiting.
