Avoid these 6 marigold varieties in your garden. Here’s why

While this type of marigold is famed for its potential culinary and medicinal uses, it can be a nightmare for your garden. Tagetes minuta often grows aggressively and can out-compete other plants for nutrients and space. It also releases chemicals into the soil that can inhibit the growth of neighboring plants.
