Tagetes – Botany and Origin

Tagetes, or Tagetes minuta, belongs to the Asteraceae family. It originates from South America, from where it has spread almost worldwide. It is valued for its bright orange flowers, distinctive aroma, and wide traditional use.

The plant's leaves are simple, alternately arranged, often with fine serration. The inflorescence consists of tubular florets and small ray flowers, typical of tagetes. It is from these that this intense, aromatic oil is obtained.

How to Use ORGANIC Tagetes?
