I first discovered calendula on this very site, and now it’s my very favorite flower not only for beauty, but its healing properties are amazing! Easy to grow.

Not much of a flower grower, but have it a try to attract pollinators to the garden and these worked out great.

Such pretty blooms and the plants grow very large. They’ll continue to bloom if you dead head them.

The first year I planted calendula was a bust, but I gave them a second chance and am glad I did. I started the seeds in the greenhouse according to the package’s directions and transplanted in the garden after the last frost date. They were a pretty addition to my tomato bed. Even better is that they were easy to collect seeds for next year. I look forward to trying new varieties.

I grew these last year and harvested many of the flowers. But that didn't stop several from popping up again this year!
