Calendula Seeds
If you're looking for a way to get your children interested in gardening, calendula is perfect. These rich, orange-gold blooms light up the herb garden or add a brilliant splash of color to containers and annual or perennial beds and borders.
Calendula 'Pacific Beauty Mix' Seeds
Bring a burst of sunshine to your garden with Calendula 'Pacific Beauty Mix'. These cheerful blooms, often known as pot marigolds, light up any space with their vibrant yellow flowers, measuring 2 to 3 inches across. Not just a visual delight, the edible petals add a touch of color to salads or serve as a saffron substitute, making them a must-have for culinary gardens.
In addition to its aesthetic and culinary benefits, calendula is a champion in the garden, attracting beneficial insects and repelling harmful pests. Perfect for planting alongside tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables, it creates a natural defense, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
Key Features of Calendula Seeds
- Vibrant Blooms: Produces 2- to 3-inch daisy-like flowers in bright shades of yellow and orange.
- Pest-Repellent: Acts as a natural defense against harmful garden pests while attracting beneficial insects like pollinators.
- Easy to Grow: Thrives in well-drained soil, tolerates a variety of conditions, and is ideal for beginners and children.
- Cool-Weather Lover: Flourishes in spring and fall, with a tendency to rebloom after a summer trim.
- Low Maintenance: Calendula is resistant to pests and diseases, making it a worry-free addition to any garden.
- Long Blooming Season: Provides long-lasting color in the garden, typically blooming in spring and fall, with potential to bloom again in autumn.
How to Care for Calendula Seeds
- Sunlight: Calendula thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade, especially in hot climates. Aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for best results.
- Soil: Well-drained, moderately rich soil is ideal. Calendula prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). It will also tolerate poor soils, making it versatile for different garden conditions.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Fertilizer: Calendula is not heavy on nutrient needs, but an occasional feeding with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or compost can enhance blooming.
- Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. You can also cut the plant back in midsummer if it starts to look tired or leggy—this will stimulate fresh growth and fall blooming.
- Pest and Disease Control: Calendula is relatively pest-free and can even repel garden pests. However, keep an eye out for aphids and slugs.
