Description
Calendula officinalis
Massive, and fiery orange! Single or double daisy-like blooms crown this king of calendulas!
This massive calendula grows to around 24” tall and cranks out blooms that routinely reach 2-4” across! Both flowers and leaves are edible and are used medicinally. As the name suggests, they also make stunning flower crowns! Frost-tolerant annuals, they will bloom summer through fall, and even into winter in milder areas. They will reseed readily—persnickety gardeners, steer clear!
