Calendula

Calendula officinalis

These cheery flowers bring brightness to any room or meal with their stunning orange colour and prolific blooming habits.

Germinates in: 5-8 days. First harvest: 30-40 days. Second harvest: around 70 days.

Prune calendula when the plant is at least 15 cm (6 inches) tall to encourage bushier growth and more flower development. Deadhead flowers regularly to prolong blooming and produce the highest yield.

Harvest before the flower is completely dry or just before the petals begin to fan open. Harvest just below the flower.

Calendula has a high number of carotenoids that are important antioxidants and are precursors of Vitamin A and retinoids.

Pot marigold (calendula’s common name) originated from the bright flowers that bloomed of gold during the Virgin Mary in Renaissance times (Mary + gold = marigold).
