Orange Calendula Seeds

Scientific Name: Calendula officinalis Grown in Williams, Oregon Originating from southern Europe, Calendula is a self-sowing flower that is warmly welcomed wherever it appears, often mingling with vegetables in kitchen gardens or complementing violet-hued honeywort and borage in early summer borders. The flowers can be boiled to produce a vibrant yellow-orange dye. Calendula seeds can be sown directly into the garden in spring or grown in containers, spacing them 6 inches apart. For continuous flowering until the first fall freezes, sow again in midsummer and remember to deadhead regularly. These flowers resemble the color of the rising sun and are of the finest organic quality.
