Calendula - Pacific Beauty Blend

The calendula, an old, English-cottage-garden flower is a long-blooming addition to any modern garden. Its gold and orange flowers bloom from spring to fall on fairly drought- and heat-tolerant plants. Grow it for attracting pollinators and its sunny beauty in the garden, then save some blooms for fresh or dried floral arrangements; dried petals can be used in baking or teas. Calendula gets its common name, pot marigold, because the flower resembles a marigold, and has often been used in pots of soup or stew for both color and flavor. Calendula is frequently grown in the vegetable garden as a beneficial plant. It attracts predator insects (those that eat pest insects) and is considered a trap plant as it attracts aphids and other pest insects to it away from your vegetable plants. Plant this along the edges of your vegetable garden or tucked in between the vegetables.
