Description
Prepare to be wowed by the soft apricot orange of this stunning calendula. Flowers range from apricot to creamy yellow with (mostly) chestnut brown centers. The big, double flowers are borne on tall strong stems perfect for cutting. The full flowers also make this variety a great choice for gardeners who want to use petals as an edible or for herbal tea.
Pot Marigolds are one of the most rewarding flowers to grow from seed. You'll have flowers all summer from a single spring sowing. They'll also self seed, giving you more flowers next year.
Sow: September for overwintering seedlings. Sow undercover or outside Mar-May, depending on soil conditions.
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing at 30cm.
Harvest: Expect 50-60cm stem length, longer if grown inside.
Vase: Pick when flowers are half open for best vase life of 5 days.
