found the answer on 'calendula'-vs-marigolds

[Guest guest]

OH--

I should be less impatient--I 'googled' calendula officinalis and

marigold tagetes (after first 'googling' for the latin name for each)

 

I'm guessing as some varieties of each, can darn near look identical,

from what I was seeing....you need to look and see which latin name is

on the plant/seeds.

 

If it says calendula officinalis--you've got the right one.

Smart lady. Thanks! One of the things I’ve learned is to double-check my

sources when it comes to herbal information. Many herb books simply pass on

information from other herb books. The Little Herb Encyclopedia by Jack

Ritchason, N.D., is the one that clearly identifies calencula as the garden

marigold.

Another good book for Herbs is the Eyewitness Handbooks by Lesley Bremness

It is a visual guide to more than 700 species.
