Calendula - Snow Princess (2.6" pot)
Annual. Get ready for a show! This unusual variety will undergo a beautiful colour transformation right before your eyes: unopened blooms will begin as a lemon curd yellow. Petals will then gradually unfurl to reveal an almost pure white blossom with a dark center. A beautiful contrast for any flower bed or vase!
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, Mixed container, Vegetable garden
Bloom Period: June to September
Height: 2’
Plant Spacing: 10”
