Victoria Sunset Calendula
Calendula officinalis. We could hardly believe that this was a Calendula! Intense burnt-orange double blooms on 18-24" stems cover these plants all summer. Calendula is a multi-purpose, easy to grow annual, sometimes called pot marigold, that loves sun. They are a beautiful addition to gardens, pots, bouquets or used as a garnish for your salad. They are pollinator friendly, so good in the veggie garden as well. Approximately 75 seeds/pkg; 150 seeds/gram.
