Description
Calendula Daisy Field Grown Mix (Calendula officinalis), also widely known as Pot Marigold, is a vibrant heirloom standard cherished for its cheerful daisy-like flowers, long blooming season, and dual ornamental-edible uses. Producing branching 18- to 24-inch plants, it yields a rich mix of single and semi-double blooms (2 to 3 inches across) in warm shades of bright yellow, deep gold, apricot, and rich orange. Highly cold-hardy, easy to grow, and attractive to beneficial pollinators, its edible petals add vibrant color and a light spicy flavor to fresh summer salads, compound butter, herbal teas, and natural cosmetic oils.

Good to know
Highly versatile dual-purpose annual—serves as a stunning border bloom, beneficial pollinator magnet, and edible garnish
Exceptional cold tolerance—continues blooming straight through light autumn frosts long after tender summer annuals fade
Very easy to direct sow and self-seeds readily if mature flower heads are left on the plant late in the season
Heavy blooming requires routine deadheading of spent flowers to encourage continuous bud formation
Dense foliage can experience powdery mildew in late summer if planted tightly without good air circulation
