Description
If you like this you may also like Calendula officinalis 'Snow Princess'
I adored this growing in the cut flower trial 2021 and with our veg as a companion plant. It flowered almost twice as long as other calendulas, and had the hugest and most handsome, gerbera-like saucer flowers to fill the palm of my hand in a great, gentle range of soft oranges and yellows.
Calendula flowers are edible with a delicious, peppery taste. Add to salads and soups for flavour and colour.
Care Tips
Keep picking or deadhead for flowers until the first frosts. For stronger plants sow in autumn and overwinter. Brilliant companion plants for veg like runner beans, tomatoes and squash as calendulas attract pollinators. Will self-sow.
