Calendula - Pacific Beauty Mix (2.6" pot)
Annual. The quintessential calendula. Blooming in shades of yellow, orange and gold, their double flowers are long-lasting, heat tolerant and can thrive in poor soils. They make a great cut flower and a lovely background for fall mums.
Calendula are a terrific vegetable companion, as they attract pollinators and repel harmful nematodes in the soil. Their flowers are edible and dried petals can be used in place of saffron, as a garnish, or to make a delightful tea. They are very easy to grow, requiring minimal watering and feeding. Plant in poor to average, well-draining soil and deadhead occasionally for increased blooms.
Location: Mid-border, Vegetable garden
Bloom Period: June to September
Height: 18-24”
Plant Spacing: 12-16”
