It has been classified as an antiseptic and bactericide. Marigold as a ground powder is known as pyrethrum and is used to kill fleas indoors and outside in the yard and garden around flowers and food crops.

 

The vivid orange color of marigold flowers makes them ideal for use as décor on wedding cakes and other pastries prepared for celebratory occasions. Use as garnish when plating or on serving platters. Float atop a punch bowl of red or white sangria. Their appearance will complement spring, summer and early fall preparations best.
