Description
Calendula officinalis
Massive and fiery orange! Many double daisy-like blooms grow 2 to 4 inches across.
Historically medicinal, the edible leaves on this giant bloom are sweet and bitter, intensifying with flavor when dried. Great plant for borders and containers. Performs best in full sun. Often self-sows, so plant it where you want it next year!
Special Overstock Opportunity! We have a batch of Orange King Calendula seed that is germinating below standard. Germinating at 55%, it is 10% below standard. You can purchase this seed in bulk to plant in your garden at a great deal!
