Calendula Seeds
Calendula (Calendula officinalis), Orange
Description:
Calendula, or pot marigold, is a beautiful, multi-faceted flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is renowned for its vibrant blooms and numerous medicinal and culinary uses. Calendula is an annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous plant with a compact and bushy growth habit. It typically reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) and features lance-shaped green leaves that grow opposite each other along the stems. The leaves are slightly hairy and can vary in length.
The vibrant, resinous flower heads of calendula are the most commonly used medicinal part. They consist of multiple layers of ray florets, which are the individual (edible) petal-like structures. The flower heads contain various medicinal compounds, including triterpenoids, flavonoids, and carotenoids.
Growing Conditions:
Climate: cool-temperate; prefers temperatures between 13 to 24°C but can tolerate a wider range.
Position: full sun to partial shade, with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day; some shade during the hottest part of the day can be beneficial in warmer climates.
Soil: prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter; can tolerate various soil types but thrives in loamy or sandy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH range (around 6.0 to 7.0).
Water: average water requirements and prefers consistent moisture.
Spacing: space the plants approx. 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) apart, allowing them room to spread and produce abundant flowers.
Propagation: sow the seeds directly into the garden bed in early spring or late summer; lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep them consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 7 to 14 days.
Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Calendula is generally low-maintenance and does not require extensive pruning.
Harvest: all year-round.
