Easy to grow
Super productive variety 

Deep orange, with crimson backs that match the crimson centre of the flower

I use them in brilliantly coloured arrangements and eat the petals in salads. This is also lovely dipped in batter for garden Fritto Misto or make the flowers into excellent and effective, natural calendula skin-healing cream. Calendula flowers are edible with a delicious, peppery taste. Add to salads and soups for flavour and colour.

Line veg garden paths with this to attract aphid-eating hoverflies. It will lightly self-sow.
