Marigold: A Flower of Tradition & Protection in Home Gardens | GIFTA Seeds

  Hello everyone!! 🌱✨

I’m indeed super excited to welcome you all as we just step into a new journey with hope and confidence in a brand NEW YEAR 2026 💥

We are happy to continue our  new blog series where we showcase our native seeds and tuber varieties, sharing their significance, traditional value, and the importance of preserving them for future generations 🌾

🌼 A Flower Rooted in Everyday Life

Marigold is more than just a flower. It is part of our prayers, celebrations, kitchens, and gardens. From temple offerings to festive decorations and home remedies, marigold has always held a special place in everyday living.

Yet today, many of us buy marigold flowers without ever thinking about growing them ourselves. This simple, generous plant reminds us that beauty, tradition, and self-sufficiency can grow together.

More than all these, Marigold has a vibrant power of repelling pests and insects Naturally. Though we have so many blooms, I personally have a big craze with this beauty queen "Marigold💛"

Native marigold varieties grow easily, bloom abundantly, and adapt beautifully to Indian climates.

🌈 Why Marigold Is Special

🌼 Bright, long-lasting blooms in shades of yellow and orange

🌱 Extremely easy to grow, even for beginners

🐝 Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies

🌿 Acts as a natural pest-repellent plant in vegetable gardens

🩺 Traditional & Practical Value

Marigold has been valued for generations in Indian households:

🌸Flowers used in pooja and rituals

🌸Traditionally used in skin-soothing home remedies

🌸Leaves and flowers known for natural pest-repelling properties

🌸Brings positivity and brightness to living spaces

Native marigold varieties are especially known for their strong fragrance and resilience.

🏡 Why Every Family Should Grow Marigold

🌱 Perfect for first-time gardeners

🪴 Grows well in small pots and limited spaces

🌼 Continuous flowering for many weeks

👨‍👩‍👧 Helps children connect with flowers, festivals, and traditions

Growing marigold at home ensures fresh flowers whenever needed😃😄without chemicals.

🌾 Seed Saving – Flowers That Multiply

Marigold is one of the easiest plants for seed saving:

🐾Allow flowers to dry fully on the plant

🐾Collect the long, slender seeds

🐾Dry and store them for the next season

One marigold plant can give seeds for dozens of future plants.

This makes marigold a perfect starting point for anyone new to seed saving.
