Orange Flash Calendula

4 plants in 4 x 2.5 inch multi cell pack 

We grow Calendula as a cut flower, edible flower, and medicinal plant. It doesn’t do well in the heat of the summer so I think of it as a spring and early summer plant. This is a new variety with large beautiful rose-copper colored flowers. I most frequently soak the flowers in oil and then make skin balms by straining the oil and adding melted beeswax.

LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun and Part shade

PLANT HEIGHT: 12-18 inches.

PLANT SPACING: 8-12 inches

HARVEST: Pick just opened flowers in mid-morning after the dew has evaporated but the heat of the day hasn’t set in.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Fertile soil rich in organic matter. Well-drained
