Botanical Interests 1069 Flower Seed, Calendula (Pot Marigold), Calendula Officinalis, Spring to Frost Bloom, 1.5 g
The calendula, an old, English-cottage-garden flower is a long-blooming addition to any modern garden. Its gold and orange flowers bloom from spring to fall on fairly drought- and heat-tolerant plants. Grow it for attracting pollinators and its sunny beauty in the garden, then save some blooms for fresh or dried floral arrangements, dried petals can be used in baking or teas. Calendula gets its common name, pot marigold, because the flower resembles a marigold and has often been used in pots of soup or stew for both color and flavor.
