Planting & Care
Sow Calendula seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for a head start. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil and keep the area consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy, bushy growth.
Once established, Calendula requires only moderate watering and benefits from regular deadheading to prolong bloom production. Harvest flowers for arrangements or culinary use when fully open, and continue cutting to encourage new buds. Avoid overhead watering late in the day to help prevent foliar issues.
