Better known as the ‘Pot Marigold,’ these calendulas are not just decorative but practical. Their petals are edible, and make a colourful addition to salads, teas, and bakery treats. They are also a wonderful choice for children’s gardening projects thanks to their hardiness and how easy they are to grow. Calendula seeds are best sown in a sunny position where they can flourish with minimal effort.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow Calendula Pacific Beauty Mixed seeds directly where they are to flower, in rows or clumps, about 0.5in (12mm) deep.
Thinning: Once seedlings have grown, thin them out to 9in (25cm) apart to allow space for healthy growth.
Growing notes: Keep the soil moist. Apply a pre-planting fertiliser when preparing the soil to improve the health and size of the flowers. Remove dead flowers regularly to prolong the flowering period. Calendula isn’t the only edible flower. Read the guide to edible flowers for more information.
