Description
Calendula Daisy Field Grown Mix (Calendula officinalis), also widely known as Pot Marigold, is a vibrant heirloom standard cherished for its cheerful daisy-like flowers, long blooming season, and dual ornamental-edible uses. Producing branching 18- to 24-inch plants, it yields a rich mix of single and semi-double blooms (2 to 3 inches across) in warm shades of bright yellow, deep gold, apricot, and rich orange. Highly cold-hardy, easy to grow, and attractive to beneficial pollinators, its edible petals add vibrant color and a light spicy flavor to fresh summer salads, compound butter, herbal teas, and natural cosmetic oils.
