Calendula is an incredibly easy to grow spring flower. Plant in full sun to partial shade in regular garden soil. These 1-2 ft tall plants are excellent in garden borders and for colorful cut flowers. The bright orange petals are showy in the garden. Let some flowers dry on the plant and go to seed to grow and re-bloom the next season.
Planting your 6 pack: Space seedlings 6-8 inches apart, and water in after planting. ‘Mandarin Twist’ also grows very well in a container.

Cut Calendula flowers for bouquets by snipping the stems about 8 inches down the plant. The petals of calendula flowers are edible and make a colorful addition to salads. The petals may also be dried and used as a tea or to make beauty products like soaps and shampoo.
