A new twist on the medicinal cottage-garden flower, this fancy beauty makes other calendulas look plain. Bronzy-orange petals fade to a delicate light pink, artfully contrasting with the yellow base and maroon back. Add the edible petals to salads and sandwiches or use as a garnish for a pretty touch.

    Good germination rate, good growth and plenty of blooms. I had a few planted in a raised garden bed and a few planted in the ground. My natural soil is just sand so I added a scoop of compost at planting. Those planted in the ground out performed those in my garden bed so this year I will plant all my calendula straight in the ground.
