Which one? African Marigold is Tagetes erecta, the French Marigold is Tagetes patula, the Marsh Marigold is Caltha palustris or the Corn Marigold Chrysanthemum segetum.
There are many varieties of Marigolds and new ones are introduced each year. Various references group the species and varieties in many different ways, such as by size, (large, semi-dwarf, dwarf) or flower shape, such as chrysanthemums or pompon types, peony types and singles. However, for simplification, here, Marigolds are divided into four basic species: African Marigolds--Tagetes erecta; French Marigolds--Tagetes patula; Triploids--a hybrid (Tagetes erecta x Tagetes patula); Single Marigolds--Tagetes tenuifolia (signata) pumila. Within each of these species there are many hybrids producing variations in color and size.
