Planting & Care

Sow calendula seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier for a head start. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation.

Once established, calendula is relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of mildew. In hot climates, a little afternoon shade can help prolong flower production.
