Calendula
Bloom time: Spring to first frost. Winter blooming is possible in Zones 8-10 from August sowing.
The image to the right shows a family home near Salem, Oregon, where Calendula 'Pacific Beauty' mix is grown for the seed market. Many families in the area have been growing flower seeds for generations, and the countryside is spectacular in summer.
Calendula is a genus of annual and perennial herbaceous flowers native to the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East. Calendula are wonderfully versatile and a very easy flower to grow. Although they do best in well-drained and sunny spots, they germinate in partial shade and bloom quickly in two months. These bright flowers range from deep orange to pastel yellow so the edible petals make a gorgeous addition to salads.
Indian Prince
Calendula officinalis
Hardy Annual (HA)
These Calendula are taller than usual and have very unique petals. The flowers are in layers of orange, backed with mahogany red petals to give a stunning two colour effect.
Maayan Orange
Hardy Annual (HA)
Calendula 'Maayan Orange' seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC, and produce lovely, dark red/orange, fully double flowers with a ruffled look. These hardy annuals grow to about 60cm (24") tall. Easy to start from seed either in the spring or from overwintered fall plantings. May self-sow in mild areas.
Pacific Beauty Mix
Hardy Annual (HA)
Semi-double flowers glow in warm apricot, cream, gold, and shades of yellow. Brilliant range of coloured blooms. Long stems, excellent for cutting. Sun or partial shade works well for these fun flowers.
Single Orange
Hardy Annual (HA)
Sprinkle salads and decorate cakes with these edible, tangy petals. The single flowers are the deepest orange but the cheerful, bushy, daisy-like blooms range through pale golds, yellows, and oranges in spring through to fall. Single Orange is a great cool-season cutting flower with straight, sturdy stems. Direct seed in spring. Sow 6mm (1/4") deep. Germinates in 6 to 14 days. Self sows. Collect petals to dry for tea.
