The calendula, an old, English-cottage-garden flower is a long-blooming addition to any modern garden. Its gold and orange flowers bloom from spring to fall on fairly drought- and heat-tolerant plants. Grow it for attracting pollinators and its sunny beauty in the garden, then save some blooms for fresh or dried floral arrangements; dried petals can be used in baking or teas. Calendula gets its common name, pot marigold, because the flower resembles a marigold, and has often been used in pots of soup or stew for both color and flavor.

    I tested these during the start of winter 2024, and I wanted to see how well they worked with other plants in a pot. It started out pretty slow, but ultimately I got the flowering plant you see in this image. Don’t get me wrong, the flowers are gorgeous, but the rest of the plant seems pretty lanky and bland, at least in a pot. I do think though that this variety would work really well if you have an empty ground space in your front or backyard and you wanna make a pollinator garden or perhaps something colorful.
