Planting & Care

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Cover seeds lightly with soil, as they need darkness to germinate. Keep the seedbed moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7-14 days at 65-70°F. Thin seedlings to stand 9-12 inches apart.

Calendula prefers full sun but appreciates some afternoon shade in hot climates. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Calendula is generally pest-free and easy to grow, making it a great choice for beginner gardeners.
