Annual. 50 days.
Calendula is native to the Mediterranean, South Asia, and much of Europe. It’s one of the oldest of all cultivated flowers.
20-24″ tall plants produce 2-3″ flowers of orange, yellow, apricot and cream, often with a bronze underside and dark centers from June until the first hard frost.
Calendula flowers are not just ornamental – they are also edible. The petals can be added to salads, herbal teas, or baked goods, bringing a splash of colour and a mildly tangy flavor. Also used in herbal remedies and skincare products for its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
Easy to grow from seed, self-sows readily.
Attracts pollinators, deters pests, deer and rabbit resistant.
